The SP206, SP207, SP208 and SP211 are multi-channel RS-232 line
transceivers in a variety of configurations to fit most communication
needs. All models in this series feature low-power CMOS construction and MaxLinear Patented (5,306,954) on-board charge pump circuitry to generate
the +/-10V RS-232 voltage levels, using 0.1μF charge pump capacitors to
save board space and reduce circuit cost. The SP206 and SP211 models
feature a low-power shutdown mode which reduces power sup- ply drain to 1
μA.

For RS-232 it is 50 feet (15 meters), or the cable length equal to a capacitance of 2500 pF, at a maximum transmission rate of 19.2kbps. When we reduce the baud rate, it allows for longer cable length. For Example:
Baud Rate (bps) | Maximum RS-232 Cable Length (ft) |
19200 | 50 |
9600 | 500 |
4800 | 1000 |
2400 | 3000 |
