12.0 Cables
12.1 Maximum Recommended Cable Lengths
There is a physical limit on the length of the cable between 2 transponder units. Table 19 lists
the maximum recommended lengths per segment for various brands of fire alarm cable.
Exceeding these limits per segment can result in signal distortion or signal loss, which can
affect the network as a whole.
When planning an installation or performing an onsite inspection, take the maximum length
per cable segment into account. Refer to Table 19 for recommended lengths per cable
segment. If the cable you are using is not listed in Table 19, refer to section 12.1.1 on page 97
to calculate the maximum recommended length for a cable segment based on brand of cable.
If you are experiencing signal loss or degradation, contact Secutron Technical Support for
assistance:

Attention: Do not mix gauges and brands of cables on a network. Use the same
cable gauge and brand throughout the network.
