Re: Clipsal pink Cat5 and mains cable

Gents,

Thank you very much for your replies.
The cat5 cable(s) will be for regular data so I can get Sonos in the shed,
or rather for the patio in front.
The appeal of the clipsal cable was for it's sheath rating and it's good to
know it's ok for the 10m length, plus (I will assume) some looping through
3 junction boxes along the way.

I've also found the pics of the ducting & junction boxes I put in - it
was
only 9 years ago...

Cheers,
Tim.
