3.6Triax cable lengths
The approximate maximum cable lengths between a Base Station and a camera are given in the table below. The signal degrades gradually when these lengths are exceeded. Reduce these lengths by 20% when a teleprompter signal is sent to the camera.
The maximum length is given for cables of the highest quality. The quality of some cables and the interconnections can adversely affect this maximum length.

8 mm (0.33 inch) | 500 m (1,600 ft) |
