(4) Mixed Trunk Line and Drop Line
The current capacity is calculated as shown below when the network power supply unit is
connected
to
a
6 m of thin-cable drop line.

0.15A
Thick-cable power supply distance = 200 m
Drop line power supply distance = 6 m
Total current capacity = 0.5 A + 0.15 A + 0.05 A + 0.25 A + 0.1 A = 1.05 A
Max. current capacity of 200 m of thick cable (from Table 5.1) = 1.53 A
Max. current capacity of 6 m of drop line (from Table 5.3) = 0.75 A
Total current of devices connected to drop line = 0.1 A
Therefore, this configuration allows power supply to all stations.
