How far can I pull a cable like this without signal degradation?
A common figure I hear thrown around is 50 feet. Is this RS-232 or
RS-422 or what? I estimate I will need about 80 to 100 feet of cable
run to reach their router. Will installing a couple of signal
repeaters be all that is required? Does anyone have any experience
with hardwired serial connections in the 50 to 200-foot distance
range? The PM-2e and their router will be communicating at 57.6kbps.
All suggestions welcome, thanks.
