When a DC power cable is used to power the camera from the base unit, refer to section
3.5.13 for the pin layout of the DC connector. The maximum length of the cable depends on
the type of cable and the power used by the camera. The table below is an indication of the
cable lengths that can be used.

Note
Always use a power cable from the portable power cables category, type W, G, G-GC or PPE.
The cable must be listed in accordance with NEC article 400 of ANSI/NFPA70.
1.4.2 DigiLink system multicore configuration
A camera head with an LDK 5481/00 adapter can be connected to the LDK 4700/10 base unit
using multicore cable. The maximum length of cable that can be used is 75 m (250 ft). The
base unit can supply power for the camera via the multicore cable. The power consumption
of the camera may reduce the maximum length of cable that can be used, so alternatively, the
power for the camera can be supplied directly to the adapter from the optional LDK 5901
power supply.

multicore camera cable type 755-2 PVC.)
