Pelco PDF8 Series Table A. Video Coaxial Cable Requirements, Table B. 24 VAC Wiring Distances

EXAMPLE: An enclosure that requires 80 vA and is in- stalled 35 feet (10 m) from the transformer would re- quire a minimum wire gauge of 20 AWG.

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

Table A. Video Coaxial Cable Requirements

Cable Type*	Maximum Distance
RG59/U	750 ft (229 m)
RG6/U	1,000 ft (305 m)
RG11/U	1,500 ft (457 m)

*Minimum cable requirements: 75 ohms impedance All-copper center conductor

Table B. 24 VAC Wiring Distances

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.)
