9.6.2.1 Maximum data rate vs. transmission line length
RS-485 standart can be used for network lengths up to 1200 meters, but the maximum usable data rate decreases
as the transmission length increases. A device operating at the maximum data transfer rate (10Mbps) is limited to a
transmission length of about 12 meters, while the 100kbps data rate can achieve a distance up to 1200 meters. A rough
relation between maximum transmission length and data rate can be calculated using this approximation:
Where Lmax is the maximum transmission length in meters and DR is maximum data rate in bits per second.
Twisted pair is the prefered cable type for RS-485 networks. Twisted pair cables pick up noise and other
electromagnetically induced voltages as common mode signals, which are rejected by the differential receivers.
