Determining the Cable Length
Before you can order the work station cables, you must know the
length of each cable.
Use your floor plan to help you determine cable lengths.
1. Read the following considerations:
• Allow enough cable to move the machines for servicing.
For cables lying on the floor, you can use the following
guidelines to determine the length of each cable:
Determine the cable path distance.
Add a minimum of 0.6 meters (2 feet) at each end.
Add 0.9 meters (3 feet) for the connection to a device
resting on a table.
In the following illustration, the total length required is 9
meters (29.5 feet).

The cable you order to assemble yourself should be at least
2.1 meters (7 feet) longer, for a total length of 11.1 meters
(36.5 feet) in this illustration.
• If the cable path is to be under false flooring, add the
distance from the false floor to the real floor on each end of
the cable.
