TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Data at 100 Mbps Through 15m, of CAT 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable
TIA/EIA-485-A defines a maximum signaling rate as that in which the transition time of the voltage transition of a
logic-state change remains less than or equal to 30% of the bit length. Transition times of greater length perform
quite well even though they do not meet the standard by definition.
