• Finding the wiring loss
Requirement: Total loss
20 dB
Cable loss = (Length / 100) x Loss per 100 m
Total loss = Cable 1 loss + Cable 2 loss + Cable 3 loss + Distributor 1 loss + Distributor 2 loss
• Finding the wiring voltage drop
Requirement: Total voltage drop 5 V
Cable voltage drop = (Length / 100) x Loop resistance per 100 m x Current
Cable current
= Number of the connected Infrared transmitter/receiver units x 0.1 (TS-905) or 0.13 (TS-907)
Total voltage drop = Voltage drop 1 + Voltage drop 2 + Voltage drop 3
Note: For the coaxial cable required to carry a large current, use a cable of low loop resistance type.

[Finding the cable current]
Cable current = Number of the connected Infrared transmitter/receiver units x 0.1 (TS-905) or 0.13 (TS-907)
The cable current changes when the Distributor is used, as shown below.
