Operating Temperature
(ambient, fixed installation)
–25°C to +50°C
–13°F to +122°F
Cable Temperature Rating 80°C / 176°F (internal operating temp)
Warnings:
1. Do not extend the coils when the temperature is below 0°C/32°F.
Do not extend the coils farther than 2x compressed length when the
temperature is below 10°C/50°F.
Avoid extension above 3x compressed length at all times. This may
result in permanent stretching of the coils.
2. Make sure that the spring force is not applied to the DX BUS connector.
Fasten a strain relief or cable tie on or near to the coiled section of the
cable.
