Eia-422
communications, standard
(Formerly “RS-422”) An EIA serial line standard which specifies 4-wire, full-duplex, differential line, multi-drop communications. The mechanical connections for this interface are specified by EIA-449. The maximum cable length is 1200m. Maximum data rates are 10Mbps at 1.2m or 100Kbps at 1200m. EIA-422 cannot implement a truly multi-point communications network (such as with EIA-485), although only one driver can be connected to up to ten receivers. The best use of EIA-422 is probably in EIA-232 extension cords.

- Eia-423
communications, standard (Formerly “RS-423”) An EIA serial line standard which specifies single ended communication. The mechanical connections for this interface are specified by EIA-449. Although it was originally intented as a successor of EIA-232 it is not widely used. The EIA-232 standard has its limits at 20kbps and 1.5m. EIA-423 can have a cable lenght […]
- Eia-449
communications, standard (Formerly “RS-449”) An EIA standard for a 37-pin or 9-pin D-type connector (functional- and mechanical characteristics), usually used with EIA-422 or EIA-423 electrical specifications. (2002-10-05)
- Eia-485
communications, standard (Formerly “RS-485”) An EIA serial line standard which specifies 2-wire, half-duplex, differential line, multi-point communications. Maximum cable length is 1200m. Maximum data rates are 10Mbps at 1.2m or 100Kbps at 1200m. EIA-485 can implement a truly multi-point communications network, and specifies up to 32 drivers and 32 receivers on a single (2-wire) bus.

- Eia-530
communications, standard (Formerly “RS-530”) An EIA serial line standard which specifies differential line and singe ended communications. Combining EIA-422 and EIA-423, and defining a 25-pin connector for mechanical connections, this standard serves as a complement to EIA-232 for high(er) speed data transmissions. (2002-10-05)
