Connecting cables
Standard connecting cables of various lengths (see chapter Accessories (Page 11)) are
available for connection with a communication partner which also has a 9-pin sub-D male
connector.
Please note that you must only use shielded connector casings and cables. A large surface
area of the cable shield must be in contact with the connector casing on both sides.
NOTICE
Never connect the cable shield with the GND, as this could destroy the interfaces. GND
must always be connected on both sides (pin 5), otherwise the modules could be
destroyed.
