About RS-422 grounding
Note the Harmonic recommendations regarding RS-422 grounding.
RS-422 uses differential signaling, much like balanced audio. As long as the chassis grounds of the
controller and the Spectrum device share a common ground through the AC power connections, no
ground connection is needed on the RS-422 cable.
In some cases, grounding the RS-422 at one end and running a shield around the balanced pairs can
reduce noise pickup.
