Extension power cable
The actuator is supplied with a power cable (and/or signal cable). The cable(s) has/have flying leads in one
end for the user’s equipment connections. On the other end of the actuator, the cable is integrated into the
connector cover. The plug-in connector allows the user to replace the actuator without disconnecting the
flying leads.
Using the extension power cable from the DC source with the proper size is important to avoid a significant
voltage drop. The further away the DC source is, the larger the extension cable may need to be. Please refer
to the following table for the recommendation of the extension power cable size.
