Maybe a dumb question, but has it already been tried without the extender? 400ft is beyond 100m, but not by all that much.  It might just work without any faffing around. On 9/1/2021 11:16 AM, Steve Jones wrote: I have a customer fixed on using https://i.mt.lv/cdn/product_files/GPeRqg_190928

That isn't right... you aren't using a pair of 24 gauge, not a single wire, so it's effectively 21 gauge, but that's still saying a 5v drop at 400, but a Force 300 is also going to be closer to .25 amp load during normal operation, so you're looking at more like a 2.5v drop, assuming the resistivit
