The maximum distance you can run 12-gauge low voltage wire depends on several factors, including the voltage drop tolerance, the current being carried, and the specific application. For a typical low voltage application, such as landscape lighting, a common recommendation is to limit the distance to around 100 feet to maintain an acceptable voltage drop. However, for longer runs, using a thicker wire or a higher voltage system may be necessary to minimize voltage drop and ensure proper functionality.
