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.

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.

and i would use 2.5mm 40 core mains flex. A (couple of) pair ('s) ( and few extra :D ) for each. that way if you loose one ( ore ten ) you wont loose the rest.

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..!!??

and you would need a team to put it on the cable jacks and run it off. :lol:

40 core :whistle:

.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.

The manufacturer reccomends:

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