Long Run Cable
In applications that require connections between devices that are greater than 10 feet [3
meters] apart, or greater current carrying capacity is needed than the interconnect cable
supports, a “long run” cable should be used. This cable provides data and 24V DC
power connections up to 1000 feet [300 meters].
