The rule of thumb is 15m (or 50ft) before you start to loose line rate. The best way to go is a DB-9 to RJ45 adapter. Use a straight ethernet cable and do all the pinouts on the adapter (http://www.commdevices.com/pdf/null-modem-rj45-db9-pinout.pdf) -- =Wayne ========================= This says the same while using high quality cable. http://www.connectworld.net/cable-length.html also I guess Tx,RX should be on the same pair of cables inside the cat cable. Just like the Ethernet 1 2 3 6 each two in a pair. If we did not do it like that, we start to loose rate after 25m on regular Ethernet network. I have been told that twists do some thing to reduce resistance! Any idea? Mohammed
