RS485 Cable STP Shielded Twisted Pair Communication Cable

RS-485 data cables are used for multi-point communication. Many devices can be connected via a single signal cable, much like early Ethernet used a coaxial cable. RS-485 data cables can be utilized in complex building automation, industrial control networks, power automation, and other communication networks.

9842 Communication Cable, a standard product designed and manufactured strictly according to the RS-485 communication protocol specifications, is not only the designated model for Rockwell (AB) Automation's DH-485 control network, but also a standard 2-pair CAN bus cable.

Three, Application Range of RS485 Cable: RS-485 communication cables generally use twisted pair wiring, but in higher-demand environments, shielded twisted pair cables are recommended. When using RS485 communication, the cable length between the host (sampling device) and the 485 port of the instrument is inversely proportional to the baud rate of the data signal transmission; this length is mainly affected by signal distortion and noise. Theoretically, at communication rates of 100Kbps or less, the maximum transmission distance for RS485 can reach 1200 meters. However, in practical applications, the transmission distance varies due to the transmission characteristics of the chip and cable. During transmission, signal amplification can be achieved by adding repeaters, with a maximum of eight repeaters, meaning the theoretical maximum transmission distance for RS485 can reach 9.6 kilometers.

Four, Usage Conditions: 1) No mechanical damage, laying temperature: 0~50°C. 2) Operating temperature: -20~60°C. 3) Minimum bending radius during laying: 8 times the cable diameter. 4) Minimum bending radius during laying: Main cable is 6 times the cable outer diameter; horizontal cable is 4 times the cable outer diameter.
