Recommendations
Digi recommends shielded cables (15 pF or less capacitance per foot) for
all installations.
The FCC requires the use of shielded cables to comply with EMI/RFI
emission limits. In addition, cables that run long distances or through
electrically noisy areas are subject to voltage surges that can cause data
errors or equipment damage. EIA-232 specifies a maximum cable length of
50 feet. If you run cables farther than 50 feet, you increase the risk of surge
damage and data loss. (However, using shielded cable of 10-15 pF
capacitance per foot somewhat lessens the risk of data errors.)
When routing your cables, do not run them parallel to AC wiring or on top of
fluorescent light ballasts. Bundling several EIA-232 cables is acceptable
