RE: Minimum stub length

If you daisy chain CAN nodes, you effectively have a very short stub so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I think the quality and quantity of the connectors to your nodes will have a far bigger impact on signal integrity than a small length of cable. Unless you’re using rusty clothes hangers for cable (although I do recall someone trying and succeeding in running CAN on clothes hangers somewhere…)

 

cheers,

Subject: [CANLIST] Minimum stub length

 

Hi all,

I have a system that runs on 125Kbps and I have always heard that one should try to keep stub length at a maximum of 0.3 meters (probably originate from late Steve Corrigan once in a time). But is there a minimum? And how critical is this at 125Kbps. If one goes down to 0,2 meters for instance. Does it mater at all?

Cheers
