2.7.2 Cable length with cross-sections
For correct operation of the easyNet network the cable lengths, cross-
sections and cable resistances must match those listed in the following
table.
The impedance of the cables used must be 120
Ω
.
The maximum transmission speed depends on the total length of the
network cables, (
Calculating the cable length for a 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.
