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.)
RS-232 Baud
Rate
Recommended Maximum
Cable Length
230400 10m
115200 10m
57600 20m
38400 50m
19200 100m
9600 200m
4800 200m
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
