5. Cable Chart/Distances:
Typically, the recommended cabling distance length will be less than 25 feet when the data rate is
9600 bps or greater. If transmission errors occur, follow these procedures to determine the cause
of the problem:
1) Reduce the baud rate – when the preset is available.
2) Reduce the cable length – when the baud rate is fixed.
3) Use a cable with a lower capacitance per foot rating.
