†
Maximum supported wire length between F-Drive compatible luminaires and F-Drive drivers is 100m
(328ft) for each luminaire. This is the limit for the total length of cable between each luminaire and the
F-Drive driver, including the Category-type cable between the driver and the B-Box and the cable
between the B-Box and the luminaire.
Note: Cable bundling limitations apply to F-Drive B-Box4 Class 2 output cables. For
more information about maximum number of four-pair cables in a bundle, see
NFPA702020 National Electrical Code, table 725.144.
W1CCDriver or CC-150Card Limits
A W1CCDriver or F-Drive CC-150Card is capable of providing up to 48VDC and 700mA per
channel.Power loss in cables varies by cable length and type. The power loss in cables on both
sides of the B-Box4 contributes to the load per channel. For guidance on load limits for channels,
output cards, or systems, visit the F-Drive System Design Tool at
etcconnect.com/FDriveSysDesignTool.
Note: Do not bus/bridge channels in an attempt to exceed the individual channel limits.
