    Q3: How long can the serial port line of TF02 be extended at max? Can I directly extend the serial port line to increase the transmission distance?
  • Page 17 TF02 Operating Manual V Benewake (Beijing) A3: Hello, the effective transmission distance is about 2m for data transmission of serial port TF02. If you need a longer distance of data transmission, it is recommended that you convert the serial port communication to others, for example, RS485 communications, and then extend the data cable for farther transmission.
