DriveRack
Note - The following cable lengths were achieved using Cat5 Enhanced cable exhibiting a max-
imum D.C. resistance of 29 Ohms per 1,000 feet.
When connecting Zone Controllers in series, the following cable length restrictions apply:
As shown in Diagram A, any (3) Zone Controllers may be wired in series as long as the total
cable length does not exceed 600 feet.
Any (6) Zone Controllers may be wired in series as long as the total cable length does not
exceed 300 feet. Refer to Diagram B.
Cable runs of up to 1,000 feet may be achieved using "Home Run" wiring. An example of this
is shown in Diagram C. A dbx Zone Controller Break Out Box (dbx ZC-BOB) is used to parallel
several cable runs. It should be noted that a 1,000 foot cable with a single Zone Controller may be
connected directly to the DriveRack 260.
