Multi F with LGRED Systems:
Communication / connection (power) cable from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit for
lengths up to 130 feet must use a minimum of 18 AWG, four (4) conductor, stranded,
shielded or unshielded (if shielded, it must be grounded to the chassis of the outdoor
unit only), and must comply with applicable local and national codes.
When the communication / connection (power) wires between the indoor unit and
outdoor unit is GREATER THAN 130 feet, use:
A two (2) conductor wire for power (for each indoor unit).
A two (2) conductor wire for communication / ground (for each indoor unit).
Separate the power AT LEAST two (2) inches away from the communication /
ground wire (for each indoor unit).
All wiring is still minimum 18 gauge, stranded, shielded, or unshielded as cited
above (for each indoor unit).
Multi F MAX with LGRED Systems:
All communication / connection (power) cable from the outdoor unit to the branch
distribution unit(s) must be a minimum of 16 AWG, four (4) conductor, stranded,
shielded or unshielded (if shielded, it must be grounded to the chassis of the outdoor
unit only), and must comply with applicable local and national codes.
Communication / connection (power) cable from the branch distribution unit(s) to
the indoor units for lengths up to 130 feet must use a minimum of 18 AWG, four (4)
conductor, stranded, shielded or unshielded (if shielded, it must be grounded to the
chassis of the outdoor unit only), and must comply with applicable local and national
codes.
When the communication / connection (power) wires between the branch distribution
unit and indoor unit is GREATER THAN 130 feet, use:
A two (2) conductor wire for power (for each indoor unit).
A two (2) conductor wire for communication / ground (for each indoor unit).
Separate the power AT LEAST two (2) inches away from the communication /
ground wire (for each indoor unit).
All wiring is still minimum 18 gauge, stranded, shielded, or unshielded as cited
above (for each indoor unit).
Insulation material as required by local code.
Rated for continuous exposure of temperatures up to 140°F.
Firmly attach the cable; provide slack but secure in a way to prevent external forces from being imparted on the terminal block.
Wiring must be completed without splices.

Use a conduit for the communications / connection (power) cable from the outdoor unit to the indoor units and branch distribution unit(s).
Electrical interference my cause product malfunction.
Never ground the shield of the communications cable to the indoor unit frame or other grounded entities of the building. Ground the com-
munications cable shield only at the outdoor unit. Improperly grounding this cable can cause communications errors.
The communications / connection (power) cable from the outdoor unit to the indoor units / branch distribution unit(s) must be separated and
isolated from power wiring to the outdoor unit, computers, radio and television broadcasting facilities, as well as medical imaging equipment.
