7 Cable Diameter (24 VDC) and Transmission
Distance
The recommended transmission distances are for reference only, and the actual conditions shall
prevail. The following table shows the maximum transmission distance of cables with certain
diameter when the 24 VDC power source voltage loss rate is below 10%.
For devices powered by direct current, the maximum voltage loss rate allowed is 10%. The cables
mentioned in the following table are all copper cables with electrical resistivity ρ=0.0175
