Maximum Bus Length

High-Speed-CAN networks may have bit rates of up to 1 Mbit/s. The
maximum bus length depends primarily on the bit rate.
The following table shows the maximum possible CAN bus length
at different bit rates:
Bit rate
1 Mbit/s
500 kbit/s
250 kbit/s
125 kbit/s
50 kbit/s
20 kbit/s
10 kbit/s
5 kbit/s
The listed values have been calculated on the basis of an idealized
system and can differ from reality.
