Source wanted for RS-422 cables

Gilly400 — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 15:30:38 +0000

Hi,

I’m looking for an RS-422 cable to use with some (old) music studio recording equipment. It’s apparently a Macintosh serial cable with 8-pin mini-din connectors.

Does anyone know where I can still get something like this? Preferably in the Netherlands or western europe…

Thanks in advance,

Martin Gilbert.

Minimum distance required between CAT5e terminations

NetworkingATE — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 14:59:27 +0000

Can you tell me if there is a minimum distance required between CAT5e terminations? I am told that the standards require at least 15m (50ft) between terminations, such as between a main cross-connect panel and a consolidation point patch block. Also, that if the actual distance is less, enough slack should be left in the cable run to make up 15m/50ft. Is this true?
