Guide to AKCP Maximum Sensor Cable Length

217

An outline of the maximum cable length test results with different CAT cable for all AKCP sensors. The AKCP securityProbe and AKCP sensorProbe2+ were used during the test.

Please note that AKCP does not recommend using your structured cabling system for extending the range of your AKCP sensors. Modern structured cable systems are progressively becoming more intelligent and this may interfere with the signals on the sensor cable.
