Data Cable lengths greater than 15 feet (4.5 meters) are susceptible to signal reflection and/or noise. IMS recommends 120Ω termination resistors at both ends of the Data Cables. An example of resistor placement is shown in Figure 5.2. For systems with Data Cables 15 feet (4.5 meters) or less, the termination resistors are generally not required. For more information and other RS-232 termination techniques, search the Internet for "RS-232 Application Notes".
