A serial cable or RS-232 cable is a used to transfer information between two devices using a serial communication protocol. The form of connectors depends on the particular used. A cable wired for connecting two DTEs directly is known as a cable.


Maximum cable lengths
The maximum working length of a cable varies depending on the characteristics of the transmitters and receivers, the on the cable, and the and electrical impedance of the cable. The RS-232 standard states that a compliant port must provide defined signal characteristics for a capacitive load of pF. This does not correspond to a fixed length of cable since varying cables have different characteristics. Empirically tested combinations of bit rate, serial ports, cable type, and lengths may provide reliable communications, but generally RS-232-compatible ports are intended to be connected by, at the most, a few tens of metres of cable. Other serial communications standards are better adapted to drive hundreds or thousands of metres of cable.
