Hello,

here is a Link to Alpha 2400C cable specifications.

http://export.farnell.com/_/dp/1619556

Looks pretty light...   24 AWG

From the switch manufactures.

"the remote has been tested up to 150 feet using quality Alpha 2400C cable."

http://www.universal-radio.com/CATALOG/switch/4672.html


"its important cable thicknees ? "

   50 meters = 165 feet


   If there "Braggin' " about 150 feet that may mean that it only worked
99.8% of the time at 200 feet.   If it gives you trouble you could add 20 or 30
feet of heavy wire between the control box and the run to the switch
to get back into spec.  It's a Crap shoot.
