hi guys im usually ok with techno stuff but im a little confused. i have purchased a PTZ camera for my home secuirty system my dvr accepts PTZ and all i need is a rs-485 cable, but i cant find one even on fle-bay. i read they you can use any twisted pair of wire so a search on fle-bay i found this on fle-bay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/300506531905?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm570%26_nkw%3D300506531905%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 is it a suitable replacement to an rs-485 cable and will it work? if not does anyone know where i can get it from i need 10m thank you.

Thanks dude

ive found an old rj-45 cat 5 cable i have cut the ends of to reveal the coloured and striped wires this has got to work am i right?

Is the wire from eBay (link is in the first post) suitable?

ive been silly to buy this stupid dvr, must have installed 10 apps and none worked but going to try the apps suggested in the forum (once i get my powerline adapters cba to disconnect the dvr and then reconnect it to the router which is in the other room)
