APPENDIX E.
DROPS VERSUS LENGTH
The number of allowed drops on a string is inversely proportional to the length of
the cable along which they are placed. Longer cable means fewer drops can be
supplied reliably by the power source, and shorter cable means more drops can
be supported. The string’s bus voltage also plays a role in determining the
number of drops that can be supported. The bus voltage must always remain
between 9 and 15 volts DC. With a supply of less than nine volts, the drops on
the string may not behave as expected, and with a supply of more than 15 volts,
the drops may become damaged due to excessive voltage.
Use the chart below to estimate the number of drops that can be supported for a
given cable length and supply voltage, assuming the correct voltage is supplied.
The drops must be spaced evenly along the string. It is important to note that
the curves on the chart begin at a 200-meter cable length.

Note:
The number of drops that can be supported on strings shorter than 200
meters must be handled on a case-by-case basis, and may require practical
experimentation to obtain a reliable result.
