Technically Speaking
With the Async Short-Haul Modem-BPlus, you can get distances of up to 4 miles (6.4km). Of course, maximum distances depend on the wire gauge of the twisted-pair cable youre using and the data rate of your connection. Typical speeds that you can achieve using 24-AWGcable are shown for various speeds in Table 1 below. NOTE:The speeds and distances described in the Speed/ Distance Chart are based on using 24-AWG unshielded twisted-pair cable. Actual distances may vary. The short-haul modem also features an improved powersupply jack for easy plug-in, and built-in optical isolation for extra safety.
