Questions about RS-485 regarding distance and speed are commonly asked. This
video provides an example of how a fast data rate on a long distance
transmission line can be affected by the cable's parasitic capacitance,
parasitic resistance, and system's jitter. Ultimately, strong drive strength
RS-485 drivers are desirable but the quality of the communication medium
(cabling) is the limiting factor for far distance transmission.
