1.3. Cabling Recommendation
All our strobe controllers are designed to operate with a large variety of LED illuminations and
light heads. Even if one of our focuses is the maximum performance at every setup, the laws
of physics limit the performance when operating a wide range of illuminations with inadequate
cabling quality. The result can be bad signal shape, long signal rise times and oscillation.
Therefore, it is recommended to follow some general rules for cable selection:
-
Select cables as short as possible, no longer than 3m
-
Use high cable grades
-
Respect appropriate wire cross sections depending on the current
-
Shielded twisted pair cables can further improve the signal
For longer cable lengths, it is further recommended to raise the voltage of the illumination. This
can be realized by using series LED arrays requiring higher voltage together with a device from
our IPSC series, providing up to 200V on output.
