Recommended Cable for 0-10v Dimming Control

Why would you think it would not work?

Dimming control requires a voltage, but little or no current, so the wiring can be very thin - Cat 6 is probably ideal. Even camera feeds at 12V, 0.5A can be run through this cable, so with four pairs per cable:- pair 1: Balanced Video; pair 2: camera feed; pair 3: light feed (LED); pair 4: dimmer.

A maximum of 25.5W load can be driven by a Cat 6 cable.

When I worked in AV I used a 24 gauge twisted pair cable with shield (if all I needed was one pair of wires). The shield should be properly grounded if the cable passes close enough to noise sources (like a ballast). Depending upon your local code regulations, and where the cable runs (inside false ceilings / air plenums, inside conduit with other cables, etc.) will dictate how you run it as well as the type of outer jacket required. The NEC lists requirements, but also ask your local inspector because the local guy can overrule or augment NEC requirements.

CAT6 should work fine, and gives you other wire pairs for other signals that may interconnect your equipment - as long as it has a jacket rated for the air space it's installed in (per NEC and local inspector).

What does your dimmer manufacturer specify for wiring? They may have their own requirements for transporting signals, particularly if they send data along with the 0-10V analog signal.

Thankyou . The reason for not liking Cat 6 is that it is single core and can easily break of at the termination point . And however useful those extra cores are it just takes up a lot of room and is time comsuming to dress neatly .I have many 0-10v circuits now that LED is becoming so popular .I install Lutron systems in the UK btw.
