Hi all,
I like to place my CTX35 closer to the electricity meter cupboard.
To do this I need to extend the serial cable.
I like to do this using cat5 Ethernet cable.
What is the maximum length for the cable?
thanks Enver

But assuming your using 4800 baud, you should be fairly ok extending it easy.

Soldering...is nothing for me..in the past I did extend video cable it cost me 5 adpters and lot of time...
I have already 1 part of the converter (cisco router cable/adapter)
