Many factors are involved with communication circuits. Special considerations may need to be made for any specific job,
especially if these distances are exceeded.
Resistance-based distance calculations were performed by using Eq. C-1
Wavelength candidates are based on 25% of the wavelength of the circuit’s operating frequency, 57600 baud
