### Cable Requirements

EIA-232 serial interface cables should be shielded, low capacitance cables, ideally designed specifically for serial data transmission.

EIA-422 interface cables should be shielded twisted-pair cables. Each signal requires two leads (one twisted pair of wires) to complete a balanced voltage digital circuit. The shield should be connected to the Chassis Ground of the devices at both ends of the interface cable.
