[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 519403, member: 23472"] rob3000, yes you can use wagos, if you do, use the [B]lever[/B] type ones, NOT the push in, as the lever ones will give you a better connection. Electrically you are supposed to then put the connectors into a box, but as its not mains voltage............ You can get 8 way alarm junction boxes, but they are fiddly, and if you opt for one, DON'T use the tamper connections. The reason being the keypad will not have a dedicated tamper connection, so which ever wire you connect to the tamper will cause you problems in the future as keypads now send data not just a voltage, besides, the cable is in your house, so no one is really going to tamper with it.
