Example of a Tenant Improvement High Rise Core and Shell.

LCP 1

LCP 2

The booster wire can be 2 number 18s or just a short section

of Cat 5 with two pairs twisted together for +12 and two pairs

twisted together for Gnd.

Another solution is to get a “BUS BOOSTER” from LC & D

which is just a 12 volt power supply with RJ45 connectors on it

used to boost the voltage in the middle of the bus.

Also note: Never connect the bus “ground” to the actual “Earth”

ground. It is supposed to be a “floating” ground.

Getting out of trouble

Too Many Switches on a section of Bus

In this example the cat 5 Bus was wired before the equip-

ment and the manual were received. Though the electrician

knew what to do from a previous job he did not have this

number of switches on that job so had not run into this prob-

lem before.

By adding two sections of booster wire to boost the Ground

and +12 Volt connection he fixed his problem with voltage

drop to the switches.
