Zone Controller Maximum Cable Length
Note - The following cable lengths were achieved using Cat5 Enhanced cable exhibiting a
maximum D.C. resistance of 29 Ohms per 1,000 feet. When connecting Zone Controllers
in series, the following cable length restrictions apply:
• As shown in Diagram F, any (3) Zone Controllers may be wired in series as long as the total
cable length does not exceed 600 feet.
• Any (6) Zone Controllers may be wired in series as long as the total cable length does not
exceed 300 feet. Refer to Diagram G.
• Cable runs of up to 1,000 feet may be achieved using “Home Run” wiring. An example of this
is shown in Diagram H. A dbx Zone Controller Break Out Box (dbx ZC-BOB) is used to paral-
lel several cable runs. It should be noted that a 1,000 foot cable with a single Zone Controller
may be connected directly to the DriveRack or ZonePro.
