Cable
Requirements
Caution
Different cables are required for various devices. Restrict cable length to less than 500’
(150m) for RS485/422 devices and 50’ (15m) for RS232 devices to avoid
communications problems.
The COM light on the front of the MT-600/8000 will turn on with each Ethernet
communication. Shielded cable must be used for long lengths or cables run in an
electrically noisy environment.
Do not run cables next to AC power lines or near sources of electrical noise. Be sure
that the cable ends have been inserted all of the way into mating connectors and are
secure.
