The data rate and cable length have an inverse relationship which means the higher the data rate, the shorter the cable length; and conversely, the lower the data rate, the longer the cable length. When connecting a node to the bus, the distance between the transceiver inputs and the cable trunk, known as the stub, should be as short as possible. Stubs present a nonterminated piece of bus line which can introduce reflections as the length of the stub increases. As a general guideline, the electrical length, or round-trip delay, of a stub should be less than one-tenth of the rise time of the driver. The RS-485 standard specifies that a compliant driver must be able to driver 32 unit loads (ULs), where 1 UL represents a load impedance of approximately 12 kΩ. Because the ISO308x family consists of 1/8 UL transceivers, connecting up to 256 receivers to the bus is possible.
