Question 1

If this is just a simple single pole switch, why is there a maximum specified length of 16 feet of cable? Is this input susceptible to noise?

Accepted Answer

Welcome to TOPENS. TC147 Wired Push Button uses 2 x 22 AWG wire. Usually the extension wire does not exceed 5 meters (16 feet), well-shielded wire can reach 50 meters (164 feet). There was once a customer saying that he used a 100 meter wire (328 feet), but generally we do not recommend our customers to connect that far, as it is easy to have interference. For further help, please contact us via our Service Email (support@topens.com). Our customer support specialists will reply you and offer the most professional help within 24 hours.

Question 4

Why is there not an outdoor version of this?  It's wired, and the gate is going to be outdoors...

Accepted Answer

Welcome to TOPENS! We have TKP3 wireless keypad (waterproof) and TC175P wired keypad (equipped with waterproof shroud), maybe they can meet your needs.
TKP3: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075K783DS
TC175P: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZTB33JK	 								
And the TC147 wired push button should be mounted in a waterproof box when being installed outside. Plastic or metal is OK.
