As previously mentioned, there are ethernet patch cables that are made of stranded cable to be flexible, and there are others that are made of high flex cable rated for continuous flexing. Mesa Electronics uses ethernet cables for remote serial I/O. I bought a long piece of the high flex ethernet cable on eBay and ran it through some cable chain on the giant gantry router LinuxCNC retrofit. That's an easy and convenient way to communicate to a big block of external I/O. Kudos to Peter for that cleverness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.
