cables

Postby gio_dude » Thu Apr 02, 2015 11:54 am

what type of cable do most people use from the relay to the switch.

also I'm looking to install a contact sensor and the one I'm looking at only has a 12inch cable so would the same type of cable that i use for the relay work for the sensor since i would need it longer.

sorry I didn't know if there is a standard low voltage cable or something spacial.

I used some cross-connect cable (1 pair) because I had it laying around.
