The DL485 is compatible with MODBUS, MODNET-1/SFB, BIT-BUS, SAIA-S-BUS, and several manufacturer-specific systems.

The data rate for DL485 systems ranges from 1200 Bit/s up to 3 MBit/s.

The maximum RS485 cable length is 1200 m at 9.6–93.75 KBit/s, 250 m at 500 KBit/s, and 90 m at 1.5 MBit/s.

Operating temperature is –40 °C to +70 °C for Multimode and Singlemode with ST or SC, and –20 °C to +55 °C for all others.

The DL485 requires a power supply of 12–30 VDC, with other voltages available on request.

The DL485 consumes 5 Watts, which is 200 mA at 24 V.

The dimensions are 60 x 100 x 113 mm, or 60 x 120 x 113 mm including the connector.

Available FO connectors include ST, SC, E-2000, and SC/BIDI.

Supported fiber types include POF (980/1000 μm), HCS (200/230 μm), Multimode (62.5/125 μm), and Singlemode (9/125 μm).

Optical ranges vary: 50 m for POF, 200 m for HCS, 5 km for Multimode, and 30 km (up to 100 km on request) for Singlemode.
