A: Power Consumption & Distances for Typical Cables
The table below shows theoretical point-to-point distances for different cable types at different levels
of power consumption at the remote location. All distances are calculated for 48V output from the
PSU.

Note that being able to power a remote station does not guarantee sufficient bandwidth. For
more about bandwidth see section “5.2 Cables & Bandwidth”.
