Using a DC Power Source
Coax Cable Lengths
In some DC power source environments, the voltage supplied to the power injector can vary depending
on the operating load. The following sections indicate the maximum coax cable lengths that can be
supported using several typical coax cables.
To determine the maximum coax cable length supported for a different coax cable, you can use the coax
cable length calculator utility at this URL:

Environments Providing 12 VDC Power
Table 3
indicates the maximum cable length that can be supported by several coax cables when using a
+12 VDC power source.
Environments Providing 24 VDC Power
Table 4
indicates the maximum cable length that can be supported by several coax cables when using a
+24 VDC power source.
Environments Providing 40 VDC Power
Table 5
indicates the maximum cable lengths that can be supported by several coax cables when using a
+40 VDC power source.
