kdberg 0 Posted May 31, 2004 This unit support an RS-232 connection to the DVR PC for less than 15 meters and RS-485 for greater than 15 meters. Is there any reason not to use a pair of modems on the RS-232 ports instead of dealing with the RS-485 cable? The runs I have to deal with are in the neighborhood of 50 to 100 feet.

kdberg 0 Posted June 1, 2004 How about using UTP Cat 5 cable for the EIA-485 connection? It seems to have better specs than required at lower cost than EIA-422 / 485 specific cable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
