8.5.2.2 Cable type
Recomended cable parameters:
22-24 AWG, 2 – pair (used for full-duplex networks ) or 1-pair (used for half
duplex networks). One addtitional wire for ground connection is needed.
Characteristic cable Impedance
Capacitance (conductor to conductor)
8.5.2.3 RS485 connector pin-out
8.5.2.4 2-Wire and 4-Wire Networks
Below is an example of 4- wire network electrical connection. There are 3 devices shown in the example. One of
the devices is master and other two- slaves. Termination resistors are placed at each cable end. Four-wire networks
consists of one „master“ with its transmitter connected to each of the “slave” receivers on one twisted pair. The“slave”
transmitters are all connected to the “master” receiver on a second twisted pair.
