Assumptions
1.0 mm (18 AWG) stranded copper
457 m (1,500 ft) twisted wire
0.8 mm (20 AWG) stranded copper
297 m (975 ft) twisted wire
297 m (975 ft) twisted wire
0.6 mm (22 AWG) stranded copper
183 m (600 ft) twisted wire
183 m (600 ft) twisted wire

0.5mm (24 AWG) stranded copper
107 m (350 ft) twisted wire
107 m (350 ft) twisted wire
100 mV maximum voltage drop
Depending on the cable length
and the connected input or
output device, you may have
to define an offset in the setup
software for the input or output
point.

See Figure to select wire size/gauge.
Use stranded copper wire.
See Figure to determine cable
length.
Use twisted wire cable.

Maximum cable length versus load
current
Use Figure 8 to estimate the maximum cable length
relative to the wire size and the load current (in mA)
when wiring inputs and outputs.
