Maximum CAN bus length The maximum length of the communication bus wiring is dependent on the configured baud rate. Observe the maximum bus length. (Source: CANopen; Holger Zeltwanger (Hrsg.); 2001 VDE VERLAG GMBH, Berlin und Offenbach; ISBN 3-8007-2448-0). 

Recommendation is to think about CAN Fiber Optics conversion to increase CANbus distance

Former & OLD part numbers

Woodward’s latest part number, 8445-1050 DL-CAN-FD-R-FV / 2X13 MM-SC, is not backward compatible on the fiber side because the protocol has changed. As a result, it does not connect with previous V2 and V3 versions.
