What type of cable is suitable for an RS-485 interface?

This is a serial specification and as such is going to be dependent partially on electronics.  Cat 6 is better balanced than Ccat 5, and I am a big fan of shielded systems for a variety of reasons.  I would suggest, however, that you discuss this with the active supplier.  Cabling is backwards-...

how does channel length affect patch cord length?

I need to install a 10/100 base Ethernet switch into a rather small cabinet. I read in a previous discussion that the minimum length for a CAT5e patch cable is 2.5m, which will make the install look untidy. If I use a CAT6 or CAT6a cable what will the minimum length have to be?

What to do about cabling long distances and signal strength fading?

I made a connection using Cat 6 SYSTIMAX cable from the server switch to the next repeater, which is 85 meters - and then to the next point it is 50 meters and then 50, then 50. The problem is the signal strength is not that strong and its on and off. What do you advise me to do? Thank you.

Why should you install Cat6 over Cat5E cables?

If CAT 5E is rated for 1 Gbit and a standard CAT 6 (not 6A) will only support 10 Gbit to 40 or 50 meters, then what is the purpose of installing Cat6 instead of Cat5E?
