RE: Coloured mains extension leads?



We use Orange to denote UPS
Fire Regs say they need all UPS feeds in a different colour cable, so they
know not to cut it in an emergency and the have isolated the incoming
mains.
Made sense to us so we went for Orange!!
Not that it is at all relevant to your CBUS, but I bet U have a couple of
UPS cables knocking about ;-)
