Figure 6: BRX-XLR Performance Improvement with Extended Placement Range (meters)
Note
: The above diagrams are based on 26 AWG (0.40mm) copper gauge. To convert to larger
cables sizes, multiply the loop length by 1.374 for 24 AWG (0.51mm) and 1.844 for 22 AWG (0.64mm)
cables.
The following table summarizes the Optimum placement for BRX-XLR devices for typical loop lengths
in 26 AWG (0.4mm) and 24 AWG (0.5 mm) gauge copper loops.
