Wire gauge
Power supply 24 AWG 22 AWG 18 AWG 16 AWG
15 VDC 45/14 73/22 185/56 295/90
24 VAC 408/125 660/201 1674/510 2664/812
Note Calculations are based on an unregulated linear power supply which would be the
worst case. Using a regulated or switching power supply can increase the cable
distance. Honeywell recommends using a CSA Certified/UL listed Class 2
power supply to ensure compliance with electrical safety standards.
