Maximum Bit Rate vs. Bus Length
For a Controller Area Network, the maximum possible bus length depends on the bit
rate. The bit rate can always be slower than the maximum possible speed for a given
bus length. Conversely, the bus length can be shorter than the maximum possible
bus length for a given transmission speed.
