CLIPSAL 5500PC Used Working C-Bus2 System PC Interface

Product Overview

The Clipsal 5500PC is a critical communication bridge for the C-Bus Home and Building Automation System. This PC Interface allows for a permanent or temporary connection between a personal computer and a C-Bus network. It is the essential tool for installers and facility managers to configure, commission, and monitor C-Bus devices using the C-Bus Toolkit software. Additionally, it can be used by third-party systems to send and receive commands to the lighting and automation network. This Used Working unit provides a reliable, cost-effective way to manage your existing C-Bus infrastructure without the premium cost of a brand-new interface.
