Pelco IP3701H-2 manual Total

The following are the recommended maximum distances for 24 VAC applications and are calculated with a 10-percent voltage drop. (Ten percent is generally the maximum allowable voltage drop for AC-powered devices.)

Table C. Recommended Wire Gauge and Wiring Distances

Total	20	18	16	14	12	10
VA	(0.5 mm2)	(1.0 mm2)	(1.5 mm2)	(2.5 mm2)	(4.0 mm2)	(6.0 mm2)
10	283	451	716	1142	1811	2880
	(86)	(137)	(218)	(348)	(551)	(877)

For example, a camera that requires 10 VA and is installed 283 ft (86 m) from the transformer would require a minimum wire gauge of 20 AWG.

NOTE: Wire gauges are standard AWG or metric sizes. Distances are calculated in feet; values in parentheses are meters.
