3.5 Triax cable lengths
The approximate maximum cable lengths between a Base Station and a camera are given in
the table below. The signal degrades gradually when these lengths are exceeded. Reduce
these lengths by 20% when a teleprompter signal is sent to the camera.
The maximum length is given for cables of the highest quality. The quality of some cables and
the interconnections can adversely affect this maximum length.
☞
Note
The maximum cable length for 8mm Triax is adversely influenced by the power consumption
of the camera.
