    Control Cable Connections General guidelines Genuine Lincoln control cables should be used at all times (except where noted otherwise). Generally, it is recommended that the total length not exceed 100 feet (30.5 m). The use of non-standard cables, especially in lengths greater than 25 feet, can lead to communication problems (system shutdowns), poor motor acceleration (poor arc starting), and low wire driving force (wire...
