Calculating the PCF of a System with respect to cable length
FIG 10-10 Graph for calculating the PCF value of a system including extension cable length 
correction
10.4.2  Graph explanation
The Y-axis of the graph gives the PCF per trunk-outlet (max. 60 PCF) in relation to the X-axis, which 
gives the length of extension cable used (max. 250 m (820 ft.)).
If the length of cable from the Trunk outlet exceeds 250 m (820 ft.), the graph shows that no units can 
be connected.  At 240 m (787 ft.), the graph shows that a PCF of 17 can be connected. For an 
example of a single trunk-outlet limitation refer t
and
For typical PCF graph references in relation to Trunk outlets and Tap-offs for systems with and without 
extension cables refer to
