Calculating the cable length for a known cable
resistance
If the resistance of the cable per unit length is known
(resistance per unit length R’ in O/m), the entire cable
resistance R
L
must not exceed the following values. R
L
depends on the selected baud rate:
l
max
= Maximum cable length in m
R
L
= Total cable resistance in O
R’ = Cable resistance per unit length in O/m
Calculating cross-section with known cable lengths
The minimum cross-section is determined for the known
maximum extent of the network.
l = Cable length in m

= Minimum cable cross-section in mm
