1 Mbps signaling – bus timing and cable length
The data rate is rated at 1 Mbps. At this speed on an RS-485 bus, practical cable length is roughly 400 m before signal degradation from attenuation and skew becomes a concern. For longer runs, dropping to a lower data rate (e.g., 115.2 kbps) extends reach to 1200 m.
Active lifecycle – no near-term obsolescence risk
The base product number is 65HVD07, and the 'P' suffix denotes the 8-PDIP through-hole package.
Through-hole PDIP – board-level fit
The package is an 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62 mm pitch), through-hole mount. This is a legacy-friendly footprint for socketed or hand-solderable prototypes, and it suits retrofit or repair work where surface-mount rework is impractical. The tube shipping medium is standard for DIP devices.
