Hi,
What's the maximum length of you can run async-serial (9600 baud)
over CAT5e (from a terminal server to console port).
My google-fu has failed me.
If I remember correctly, the spec for RS-232 says the maximum
capacitance of a cable can be 2500pF at 20kbps. A Cat5e of approx 46pF
/ metre would give you a maximum length of 54 metres. At 9600bps you
could probably drive slightly longer.
