Conductor calculator

Unverified. Check every part number against the manufacturer's cut sheet before ordering. The cable catalog is being rebuilt from Belden data sheets, and the power-supply suggestion is a rule of thumb, not a voltage-drop calculation. Confirm plenum or riser rating, conductor count, and lock voltage at the door yourself.

Door hardware to cable BOM. Pick the door type, lock, reader, REX, DPS, supervision, and any auxiliary devices, and the tool builds the cable list with Belden part numbers, EOL resistor counts, and callouts for the gotchas (local power supplies, maglock code path, ADO interface modules, composite-vs-discrete trade-offs). Plenum and riser cables resolve automatically from the pathway choice. Multi-door projects roll up into a project totals view. Export to TXT. State persists locally in the browser between sessions.
