8.2.1.1 Data Rate and Bus Length

There is an inverse relationship between data rate and cable length, which means the higher the data rate, the short the cable length; and conversely, the lower the data rate, the longer the cable length. While most RS-485 systems use data rates between 10kbps and 100kbps, some applications require data rates up to 250kbps at distances of 4000 feet and longer. Longer distances are possible by allowing for small signal jitter of up to 5 or 10%.

Even higher data rates are achievable (that is, 50Mbps for the THVD24xxV) when the interconnect is short enough (or has suitably low attenuation at signal frequencies) to not degrade the data.
