Figure 8 - RS232 DCE pin-out NOTE: This port is not intended to be a permanent connection and the cable length should not exceed 2m (6.5 feet). Pins 1,4,6 are connected internally, and pins 7, 8 are connected internally. RuggedCom RuggedSwitch RS940G Installation Guide rev101 ®...
Shielded/screened cabling can optionally be used. The cable shield should be grounded at one single point to avoid the generation of ground loops. NOTE: RuggedCom does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for critical real- time substation automation applications. However, transient suppression circuitry is present on all copper ports to protect against damage from electrical transients and to ensure IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1 conformance.
