1. With 120Ω Termination (Attenuation Limit):
Based on TIA/EIA-485 guidelines. Base Max Distance ≈
Multiplier: 24AWG = 1.0x, 22AWG Shielded = 1.5x, Unshielded Phone Cable = 0.7x.
2. Without Termination (Reflection Limit):
Not limited by attenuation, but by signal reflection (Transmission Line Theory). To prevent reflections from corrupting data, the propagation delay must be less than 10% of the bit time.
Approximated Limit ≈
Based on TIA/EIA-485 guidelines. Base Max Distance ≈
100,000,000 / Baud Rate.Multiplier: 24AWG = 1.0x, 22AWG Shielded = 1.5x, Unshielded Phone Cable = 0.7x.
2. Without Termination (Reflection Limit):
Not limited by attenuation, but by signal reflection (Transmission Line Theory). To prevent reflections from corrupting data, the propagation delay must be less than 10% of the bit time.
Approximated Limit ≈
300,000 / Baud Rate (meters). Beyond this threshold, the system fails regardless of wire quality. Margin is considered N/A.
