NOTE: The transmission specifications are for 24-AWG unshielded
twisted-pair cable with a mutual capacitance of no more than
15 pF/ft. Shielded twisted-pair cable will reduce the distance to
one-third of the table value, because of the additional capacitance
contributed by the cable’s shielding. Actual distances may vary,
depending on your specific operating equipment and the cable
you use.
Protocol —
Asynchronous
Operation —
4-wire, full duplex, point-to-point
Line Interface —
Balanced current loop; Receive
lines are protected through optical isolators rated
at 2500 volts.
