One part we use a lot is a Murata BLM18AG102SN1. They are available from DigiKey. This part has a fairly high resistive component, chosen specifically for our use mainly as a power supply filter. It would also be appropriate for slower data signals like RS-232. If you were concerned

You worried about bad bits or overvoltage? An EMI ferrite isn't going to have much effect on either for a relatively high Z interface like RS-232. The serial port will only be rarely used, and the chip controlling it can be replaced. The lines that will be in continuous use have stronger
