The latter rule is \noften forgotten. This means that using a cable with low capacitance \nallows you to span longer distances without going beyond the limitations \nof the standard. If for example UTP CAT-5 cable is used with a typical \ncapacitance of 17 pF/ft, the maximum allowed cable length is 147 feet.\n\nThe cable length mentioned in the standard allows maximum communication \nspeed to occur. If speed is reduced by a factor 2 or 4, the maximum \nlength increases dramatically. Texas Instruments has done some practical \nexperiments years ago at different baud rates to test the maximum \nallowed cable lengths. Keep in mind, that the RS232 standard was \noriginally developed for 20 kbps. By halving the maximum communication \nspeed, the allowed cable length increases a factor ten!\n\ncheers\n\nSteve\n", "attachments": [] }
