Cables
For cables which are not delivered with the Product in the computer's packaging:
The EMC performance of the system is guaranteed only if the cable and interface use
efficient shielding.
The use of shielded interface cable is required for USB, IEEE1394, serial, printer, game,
analog or digital audio/ video, PS2, TV or FM antennas, and generally all high-speed
cable interfaces.
Use only UL Listed No. 26AWG or larger telecommunication cords.
Only Ethernet LAN or RTC modem cable can have length exceeding 3 metres.
Packard Bell recommends that you add a ferrite core round clip to each cable connecting
your computer to a hardware device that was not included with your computer.
