done a quick excercise to give a rough guide. each cable is assumed to be carrying it's max. load, clipped direct, to give worst scenario, and a 10m length of cable. so the figures below represent the worst volt drop/10m

1.5mm ...5.8v

2.5mm....4.86v

4.0mm....4.07v

6.0mm....3.43v

10mm.....2.86v

16mm.....2.43v

simple multiplier to give vd for 20m, 25m etc.

can't you tell i',m bored sh*tless
