Cable length questions
Posted: Tue May 12, 2020 3:19 am
Hi there folks
Couple of I hope easy questions
I want to keep my drivers in a seperate room to my work area.
I will only need to run cable an absolute maximum of 8 metres (25ft)
Two types of cable
1. Power output from my MW320H-C1400B @ 200W to 4xQB288 and MW240-C1750B @ 210W to 6xQB120
2. Potentiometer cable from above also.
The lights themselves are wired with 18AWG solid cable - and on a short run this is also used for both power and potentiometer connections (each being about 5 feet max)
Am I ok to run the same cable up to 25 feet? Or should I be looking for something thicker? I'm guessing yes with the potentiometer as I assume there is fuck all current passing through it - but with the power line do I need to upgrade to thicker/shielded cable?
Thanks for any advice.
