Determine the amount of wire needed to connect the Base Station to
the MCU by scaling from a floor plan or a sketch, pacing, measuring,
or estimating. Remember to include enough wire to reach the ceiling.

The wire length between the MCU and each Base Station may not
exceed 2,200 cable feet.
Install an extra 25 feet of wire at the Base Station to allow for
possible relocation.

When cabling an external Base Station or a Base Station with
wiring that exits the building, protect all Base Station wiring with the
Quick Clip Fuse (Illinois Tool Works, Linx Division, SCP-2X2)
before bridging with other Base Station power leads.

The area above some suspended ceilings is used as an
environmental air plenum. The NEC requires that wire installed in
plenums be rated for plenum installation.
