To help understand this issue, think of it as water pressure (voltage) in a hose (cable) where you have multiple water sprinkler heads (color changers). If the hose (cable) is too long or you have too many sprinkler heads (color changers), the water pressure (voltage) will be too low.

HEAD-FEET is defined as "the sum of cable lengths from each color changer to a single power supply output".

Refer to the user manual of the various Coloram components for detailed head-feet information on those products.

"Head-Feet" Example:

There are four Coloram II color changers connected to a power supply. The coloram cable between the power supply and the first Coloram is 100 feet long. The cables between each of the Coloram’s is 20 feet long.
