Use UTP low-capacitance (less than 15 pF per foot) cable for all serial cables.
Serial cables may be up to 600 feet (180 m) in length.
To avoid potential signal-corruption problems, avoid running cables near
fluorescent light fixtures, generators, large electrical motors, and any other
potential source of electromagnetic interference.
