This article provides the maximum supported cable lengths for SAAV500 operating at 15V.
Because ShapeArray power requirements vary by construction, the applicable cable length limits depend on the serial number. Please refer to the section corresponding to your ShapeArray serial number range.
WARNING: Use an approved splice kit to add any cable to an existing SAAV, and ensure you account for the cable that is already attached. SAAV connected to Thread loggers must be configured to run on Regular Power mode only.
