APPENDIX B
MODEL 305X SERIES CABLE RECOMMENDATIONS
The Patton Model Series operates at frequencies of 160 kHz or less
and has been performance tested by Patton technicians using twisted-
pair cable with the following characteristics:
Wire Gauge
Capacitance
Resistance
19 AWG(.9mm) 83nF/mi or 15.72 pF/ft.
.0163 Ohms/ft.
22 AWG(.6m)
83nF/mi or 15.72 pF/ft.
.0326 Ohms/ft.
24 AWG(.5mm) 83nF/mi or 15.72 pF/ft.
.05165 Ohms/ft.
26 AWG(.4mm) 83nF/mi or 15.72 pF/ft.
.08347 Ohms/ft.
To gain optimum performance from the Model 305X Series, please
keep the following guidelines in mind:
•
Always use twisted pair wire—this is not an option.
•
Use twisted pair wire with a capacitance of 20pF/ft or less.
•
Avoid twisted pair wire thinner than 26 AWG (i.e. avoid higher
AWG numbers than 26).
•
Use of twisted pair with a resistance greater than the above
specifications may cause a reduction in maximum distance
obtainable. Functionality should not be affected.
