Joining cable voltage drop calculations

Like all cables, 24V strip lighting cables have a small amount of resistance which results in a voltage drop. The voltage drop depends on the length of the cable. The voltage drop of Visionary cable is approximately 0.05V per metre. The below table provides some quick calculations for assistance.
