Several key advantages offered by this standard include the differential receiver defined in RS-423 , a differential driver and data rates as high as 10 Megabaud at 12 metres (40 ft). The mechanical connections for this interface are specified by EIA-530 ( DB-25 connector) or EIA-449 ( DB-37 connector), however devices exist which have 4 screw-posts to implement the transmit and receive pair only. The maximum cable length is 1200 m. Maximum data rates are 10 Mbit/s at 1.2 m or 100 kbit/s at 1200 m. 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. A common use of EIA-422 is for RS-232 extenders. In video editing studios it is used to link control signals for all video and audio players/recorders to a central control board. Also, an RS-232-compatible variant of RS-422 using a mini-DIN-8 connector was widely used on Macintosh hardware until it was replaced by Intel's Universal Serial Bus on the IMac in 1998. |
