RS-232 Maximum Cable Lengths

Beta LaserMike recommends the following cable lengths based on the chosen RS232 baud rate. (These recommendations do not apply to RS-422, which is designed for long distances communications.)

If you experience problems at high baud rates when using RS-232 over a long cable, try decreasing the baud rate or switching to RS-422. The RS-422 port is designed for long distances at high baud rates. Beta LaserMike
