Basic Functions
25 m 9+N @ 0.5 mm [double +, -] 75 Ohm Co-ax
50 m 2 @ 1.0 mm 5+N @ 0.5 mm 75 Ohm Co-ax
100 m 2 @ 1.4 mm 7+N @ 0.5 mm [double V, O] 75 Ohm Co-ax
Basic Functions + Door Monitor Facility
25 m 10+N @ 0.5 mm [double +, -] 75 Ohm Co-ax
50 m 2 @ 1.0 mm 6+N @ 0.5 mm 75 Ohm Co-ax
100 m 2 @ 1.4 mm 8+N @ 0.5 mm [double V, O] 75 Ohm Co-ax
E.g. 10 Video phones with basic functions over a 50 m length requires; 2 common conductors @
1.0 mm, 5 common conductors @ 0.5 mm and 10 individual call lines @ 0.5mm.
Notes
Assumes only 1 video phone is active at a time and the phones are distributed evenly along the cable run.
Loop the coaxial cable from phone to phone (daisy-chain wiring). Do not run a separate cable from each video phone back to
a common junction (star wiring).
Where possible (for optimum speech clarity), a twisted-pair should be used for ‘R’ and ‘O’ connections.
