Results
The maximum allowable current applies to the sum of currents for all nodes on
the drop line. As shown in the example on page Page 1-7, the drop line length
refers to the maximum cable distance from any node to the trunk line, not the
cumulative drop line length.
• high maximum common mode voltage drop on the V- (black) and V+
(red) conductors
– the voltage difference between any two points on the V- conductor must
not exceed the maximum common mode voltage of 4.65V
• voltage range between V- and V+ at each node within 11 to 25V

2.55A is the minimum name-plate current rating that power supply 1 should
have. Remember to consider any temperature or environmental derating
recommended by the manufacturer.
This derating factor typically does not apply when you
