Cable Length and Cross-Sections
For correct operation of the network, the cable lengths, cross-sections and
cable resistances must correspond to the following table.
The surge impedance of the cables used must be 120
Ω.
Calculating the Cable Length with Known Cable Resistance
If the resistance of the cable per unit of length is known (resistance per unit
length R’ in
Ω/m), the entire cable resistance R
L
must not exceed the following
values. R
L
depends on the selected baud rates:
l
max
= maximum cable length in m
R
L
= Total cable resistance in Ω
R’ = Cable resistance per unit length in Ω/m
