morph Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 JVC reccomend that use a cable of 1mm or greater diameter for up to 100metres, I would use a two core flexible mains type cable.
C.S TEK. Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 if your psu has output for dome and heater i would use 1.5mm 4 core mains flex. A pair for each, that way if you loose one u wont loose the other. chris Trade Member As Mr Kingswood said "Dont forget the 6 P's when installing.....Proper Preperation Prevents P*** Poor Performance!!!"

A pair for each, that way if you loose one u wont loose the other.chris 38980[/snapback] and i would use 2.5mm 40 core mains flex. A (couple of) pair ('s) ( and few extra ) for each. that way if you loose one ( ore ten ) you wont loose the rest. houhou any cable somehow flexible will do if its cores has enough diameter. 1.5mm2 is enough indeed with cable lenght of 20-30m housty.. from where are you? didn't know that meter is an imperial unit..!!??
ian.cant Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 and i would use 2.5mm 40 core mains flex. and you would need a team to put it on the cable jacks and run it off. 40 core
Rich Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 .75 is probably the biggest I would use, Really you want to look at the maximum current drawn from the device you are powering, and the maximum current the power supply can provide then use a suitable cable to carry the power. I'd probably use 2 or 3 core .5 or .75 flex.
Guest Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 and you would need a team to put it on the cable jacks and run it off. 40 core 38996[/snapback] but at least i would have some spare ones.. just for case.. like tsunami or plain earthquake.... or crazy Finn........ or .... - something..? and you can always put all the shoot on to apprentices F.. next time i'll make it 400 core..

If you dont use the cable that the manufacturer specifies as a minimum, you will get into warranty problems if it ever goes wrong.
