Rich;
You are spot on that RS-232 is only spec’ed for 50 ft. However, I
have run RS-232 over 1000 ft at 9.6 kbps on wire that was not as good as
cat5. My advice is to try it first, at any reasonable length, and only
resort to active components if the tests fail. Just my experience.
Anthony, the cable Rich is talking about is standard Ethernet patch cables.
I use rj-45 couplers to attach the cable to the Cisco octal cable. Any
computer store should have both.
