When choosing the cable length observe: the loop resistance a-b and M-P should not
exceed the maximum of 8
Ω (table 1).
If the loop resistance exceeds 8
Ω: plan multiple wiring of the lines (double twisted
strands).
Optional strand or star formed wiring.
Do not use more than 6 video indoor stations per strand. For systems with more video
indoor stations plan the use of video distributors (FVY1200, FVY1400).
Up to 64 front-door stations (16 of them with video) and almost an unlimited number of
indoor stations can be connected polarity-free (a/b) within one system (polarity-free only
in 6-wire operation). For this, a suitable power supply and control unit has to be used.

Principle loop resistance
Measurement loop resistance
Rule:
None of the devices (AS, IS or FE) should each be
further than
8 Ohm
away from the power supply
control unit (VS).
Rule:
Switch off 230 V / 50 Hz of the VS.
Install a-b short-circuit at the VS.
All other devices do not disturb the measurement
and can stay connected.
8 Ohm:
around 65 m distance AS-VS by 0.6 mm diameter
around 115 m distance AS-VS by 0.8 mm diameter
