POWER REQUIREMENTS
Ai Flex tapes are run at 24VDC and consume power as shown below. Note: The average power
consumption per foot decreases as the length increases due to increased voltage drops on longer
lengths.

14' (4.2m)
15' (4.5m)
16.4' (5m)
Note: The maximum overall tape length per run is 16.4' (5 meters). This is limited by the current
capacity of the power buses within each tape.
CONNECTION CABLES
The connection cables (not supplied) used to link Ai Flex tapes to the power/driver unit
should follow these guidelines (based on a load of 2.15A for 16.4' /5 meters of Ai Flex tape):
Cable cross section
18 AWG (0.823mm
14 AWG (2.081mm
12 AWG (3.309mm
In all cases, ensure the voltage drop at the fixture end of the link cable is no greater than 9%
(2.16V) of the original 24VDC supply.
