Hi all. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Please note my

Here's my problem :

My front gate is 150M from the house and I will have an intercom and
system to open the gates, turn on the lights, etc etc.

I ran two Cat 5E cables (total 16 conductors) underground. Somehow one
of the cables has been cut, so I have only 8 conductors left. The
intercom requires 5 of these, so I have just 3 conductors to control
the gates, lights, fountain etc as well as send a signal back to the
house to indicate what position the gate is in.

So I need a circuit that can send a coded signal down the wire, which
is decoded at the other end to open or close a relay.


Silly question, but, you did run these inside of a conduit, didn't you?

Why not just pull a new cable?
