Section 1-3
The communications distance depends on the cable used, as follows:
Note
When 4-conductor VCTF cable or Special Flat Cable is used to connect fewer
than 16 Slaves, the main line can be up to 100 m long and the total branch
line length can be up to 50 m in High-speed Communications Mode. (These
are the same conditions as when 2-conductor VCTF cable is used.)
