Determine the maximum trunk line distance
The distance between any two points must not exceed the maximum cable
distance allowed for the data rate used.
TIP
Round cable (both thick and thin) contains five wires: One
twisted pair (red and black) for 24V dc power, one twisted
pair (blue and white) for signal, and a drain wire (bare).
Flat cable contains four wires: One pair (red and black) for
24V dc power; one pair (blue and white) for signal.
Drop cable for KwikLink is a 4-wire unshielded gray cable.
It is used only with KwikLink flat cable systems.

The maximum cable distance is not
necessarily the trunk length only. It is the
maximum distance between any two devices.
