The cable length and quality have an effect on the signal quality. To achieve a good
quality signal, observe the following instructions regarding cabling:
Use metallic D-Sub female connectors. Connectors made of plastic, or metallized
plastic, can cause faulty data transfer.
For the outdoors, use a communications cable with the following important
qualities:
- Cross-section: at least 2 x 2 x 0,22 mm
