Notes:
1.
Termination resistors are optional and values depend on the cable
length and characteristic impedance. Consult the cable manufacturer
for recommendations.
2.
Refer to RS-232 to RS-422/485 Converter documentation for further
details.
3.
Use shielded cable, twisted-pairs plus ground. Connect ground shield
only at one location.
