I'm curios how the voltage should be actually chosen?

In the adin1100 datasheet i read:
"The 1.0 V pk-pk operating mode, external termination resistors and independent
Rx/Tx pins make the ADIN1100 suited to intrinsic safety applications"

"For long reach/trunk applications the higher transmit amplitude of 2.4 V pk-pk"

So, it seems to depends on:
- do we have safety requirements?
- how long is the cable?

Can we use 2.4V any time if it is available or it is bad idea for short
cables?

Oleksij
