5.14.4. GNSS connection in RS-232 mode
For this typical connection, a shielded 26AWG cable should be used. Depending on PPS signal strength, we
do not recommend this cable to measure more than a few meters. For long distance, PPS signal and GPS
NMEA signals should be separated in two cables for better noise immunity.
5.14.5. Duplex interfacing in RS-422
Below is shown a serial port interface, configured using a full duplex RS-422 operation. The recommended
cable is a shielded twisted pairs 26AWG cable, and a termination resistor should be placed at receiver side.
