    Can anyone explain what the difference is between these two products? If I want to interface some voltage free switches or relays into C-bus why would I choose one over the other. As far as I can see the both do the same thing.

    Also why is it that the bus coupler has a max distance of 1m, yet the AUX input unit has a max impedance which to me seems more logical?

    The difference is that the AUX is designed for long cable runs and the BC is not.

    Fair enough, that is the only major difference I could see anyway....

    Thanks

    Hence the AUX unit inputs are isolated and the BC not.
