ESD protection level

Question

We are using a transreceiver from different vendor which has 16.5KV ESD protection at BUS IO, however it was decided to replace the existing IC in our design with ADM1485ARMZ. 
 For comparison we would like to understand the level of ESD protection does the ADM1485ARMZ has at IO BUS.

The ADM1485 features standard levels of ESD protection of 2.5kV on all pins to the HBM specification, including the bus IO pins 
 If a transceiver with enhanced ESD protection is a requirement, the ADM3065E is a suitable upgrade for the ADM1485, which features over 30kV HBM on the bus I/O , and exceeds Level 4 requirements to the more stringent IEC 16000-4-2 standard.
