KNX - The Green Cable from the Green Cable Company

With the increasing demand for ‘green’ buildings, Intelligent Building Technology systems can contribute to significant energy savings over time.

The operation of heating, lighting and blinds among others can be aligned with external climate conditions or adjusted by an interface to pre-set levels.

KNX is an ideal solution for consultants, specifiers, designers, installers and end users as a flexible, user friendly and energy efficient system.

The KNX standard is an internationally recognised system for home automation and building control combining ISO/IEC (14543), CENELEC (EN50090) and CEN (13321). It also combines and replaces previous Bus systems – EIB, EHSA and BatiBus.

All KNX certified equipment has been tested and certified to meet this high standard and only equipment meeting this can carry the logo. This ensures the quality, reliability and guaranteed compatibility of all KNX devices and equipment.

FS Cables as member of the KNX association now offers a KNX certified cable.

This features two twisted solid conductor pairs with a foil screen in a green jacket. It has been tested and certified as being suitable for use in KNX systems and bears the KNX logo.

In addition, FS Cables now offer a duct grade, steel wire armoured (SWA) and white version with KNX certification.

The duct grade version features a tough black UV resistant polyethylene (PE) waterproof jacket over the standard LSHF inner sheath.

The armoured version uses the substantial duct grade PE as a base with the addition of 0.9mm solid galvanised steel wires cased in a heavy waterproof PE jacket.

For internal installations where the cable may be visible, the white KNX cable is ideal. The cable is exactly the same in construction as the standard green 2 x 2 x 0.8mm but has a white LSHF sheath with yellow printing.

All three have been certified by the KNX association as being suitable for use on KNX systems and bear the KNX logo.

KNX is particularly attractive to consultants and specifiers at the design stage where the flexibility of an entirely open solution allows for the creation of simple installations right up to complex building management functions.

Installations are made easier through clear and simple wiring and with a KNX certified cable installers can be confident of a hassle free installation.
