For a Subnet16 Gateway network with eight C0405-485 RFID Controllers:
Total Current Required
= [0.120A + (0.100A X 8)] x 1.1 =
1.012A
2.4.3 Cable Voltage Drop
In addition, each RFID controller on the Subnet will experience a certain amount of
voltage drop depending on the length of the cable.

For a ThinNet network with eight C0405-485 RFID Controllers at a cable length of 20
meters:
Voltage Drop = (0.100A x 8) X (.05413 X 20) = 0.866VDC
It is recommended that the voltage drop calculation be conducted on the RFID
controller that is farthest from the Gateway, as it will experience the greatest voltage
drop.
