Right.  The controller has to go in the homerun closet.  The other devices are
each attached to the other end of a direct cable run from there.  How does
this become a mid-point splice in the cable?  Even if it were so (which it is
not), splicing is easy.

Well, commence wondering then because it's not.

Show me where what I said was incorrect and I'll bow in utmost respect.  So
far it appears you either don't understand what the OP said, what I am saying,
basic cabling requirements or all of the above.

To which I replied, "Nonsense!"

He's doing it properly.  The only issue is whether the cable is of sufficient
gauge to handle the current.  Normal CAT5 will do just fine.

That's kind of rude, don't you think?  At any rate, since I'm in the process
of getting out of the business I've no agenda at all.  Like you, I posted to
offer advice to the OP.  We simply disagree about what constitutes good
advice.
