DC voltage drop

A working preview. Two-conductor run, copper.

Drop–
At device–
Loss–

Ohms per 1,000 ft from NEC Chapter 9, Table 8 (uncoated copper, 75 °C). Out-and-back length is counted for you. Check your device's minimum voltage.

Voltage drop

Size the wire for a 12 or 24 V run before the lock or camera browns out.

planned

PoE power budget

Cameras, APs and readers against a switch's budget, per port and in total.

planned

Battery standby

Standby and alarm current to amp-hours, for fire and access control panels.

planned

Camera storage

Days of retention from bitrate, codec, resolution and camera count.

planned

Conduit fill

How many Cat6 or composite cables actually fit, by conduit trade size.

planned

Cable run lengths

Ethernet and HDBaseT limits, and where you need a switch or extender.
