20 Mbps half-duplex RS-485 — what the data rate means for the bus
At that speed on a typical twisted-pair run, the cable length is limited to a few metres before signal degradation sets in — this part is sized for short-haul, high-throughput links inside a cabinet or backplane, not kilometre-long fieldbus drops. The 80 mV receiver hysteresis cleans up noise on the differential pair, which helps maintain margin at the higher bit rate.
