 I was able to purchase a commercially available 30cm ribbon cable to connect from the nRF54L15 DK to a custom board for programming. I later realized the DK documentation specifies a maximum 10cm cable for this function.

How long too long is depends on the signal itself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And you&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; the debug signals to run as fast (and thus as high) as possible.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TL;DR Use a short debug cable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Why the 10cm limit on programming cable used with nRF54L15 DK to program custom board?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/554446?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Nov 2025 19:25:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:feabb10e-fe5b-4038-b7be-29fd3518a143</guid><dc:creator>Ken58</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi PaKa,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can you explain that for someone without an electrical engineering background?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;
