== C-Bus System ==
The C-Bus System can be used to control lighting and other electrical systems and products automatically or via [[remote control (general)|remote control]] and can also be interfaced to a home security system, AV products or other electrical items. The C-Bus system is available in a wired version and a [[wireless]] version, with a gateway available to allow messages to be sent between wired and wireless networks.
 
The wired C-Bus system uses a standard category 5 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable as its network communications cable and does not require end of line termination. Clipsal manufactures a specific category 5 cable for use within electrical distribution panels. This cable has a pink outer sheath which is rated to ensure adequate electrical isolation between the mains voltages found in distribution panels and the extra low voltage C-Bus. Outside of distribution panels standard category 5 UTP cable can be used.
