KNX is the ideal solution for synchronizing heating, ventilation, lighting, security and blinds with external climate conditions or adjusted by an interface to pre-set levels.
Installations are made easier through clear and simple wiring and with a KNX certified cable installers can be confident of a hassle free installation. For the end user, a KNX system represents a modern, cost effective and ‘barrier free’ solution to home automation and building technology.
The system is wired in a daisy chain format, connecting each device to the next without the need for a central controller. This enables each device to function independently and intelligently. It also allows for great flexibility in terms of ‘future proofing’ the system as new or additional devices can be added to update or extend the system without the need for a total re-wire.
KNX also offers advances in home or building security. For example, motion detectors, alarm systems and shutter control can all be automated and controlled through the same bus network. Due to the intelligence of this system it contains features to remote monitor all or any part of your building. Whether your facility is commercial or residential you’re able to check exactly the status of the site. This gives you flexibility and a cost effective way to tailor to your individual needs.
The certified cable contains two twisted pairs with a foil screen to protect from interference in a green Low Smoke Halogen Free outer jacket. To ensure the quality and reliability of the product it has been tested and certified for use in KNX systems. For use as a jumper wire or patch cable a single pair version in green or white is also stocked.
Where installers need to link buildings or devices outside where environmental or mechanical protection may be required, a duct grade version with an additional tough, weatherproof polyethylene jacket is available. An armoured version featuring a steel wire armour and polyethylene outer jacket are also available all as certified cables.
