Serial Cabling Requirements
 
Data cables must be of fully shielded construction and fitted with 
metal or metalized connector shells. Shielded cables and 
connectors are required to prevent radiation and reception of 
electrical noise. 
 
To minimize electrical noise pickup in the cable: 
Keep data cables short (6 ft or 1.83m recommended).
Do not tightly bundle the data cables with power cords.
Do not tie the data cables to power wire conduits.
 
Notes: 
Default settings are included in the configuration report.
