What are some common concerns when installing serial cables?

  • Make sure connections are clean and secure and thumbscrews are tightened
  • If running long distances, choose a low capacitance cable
  • Avoid running communication cables near AC power lines, fluorescent lights, motors, transformers or any devices with a strong magnetic field
  • High-quality shielded cables are included with certain Sealevel serial devices and are also available as accessories.
