➤

You should keep the length of the communications cables as 
short as possible to minimize communications circuit 
interference and also to minimize the magnitude of hazardous 
ground potential differences that can develop during abnormal 
power system conditions.

➤

EIA-232 communications cable lengths should never exceed 
50 feet, and you should always use shielded cables for 
communications circuit lengths greater than 10 feet.

➤

Modems provide communication over long distances and give 
isolation from ground potential differences that are present 
between device locations. (Examples are the SEL-28XX-series 
transceivers.)

➤

Lower data speed communication is less susceptible to 
interference and will transmit greater distances over the same 
medium than higher data speeds. You should use the lowest 
data speed that provides an adequate data transfer rate.
