RS-232 Serial Cable
• four conductor, shielded, stranded, AWG 24 wire (Belden 9534 or a larger gauge)
• 50 feet maximum length (per RS-232 industry specification - greater lengths are not recommended)
RS-485 Network Cable
• two conductor, shielded, twisted pair, stranded, AWG 24 wire (Belden 9501 or a larger gauge)
• 16,000 feet total network length
• refer to the Network Wiring
