Please log in for more thread options Hi All, I have a Firewire device that I need to access over 30 meters of sheilded twisted pair (STP) cable. Yes, I know this isn't even close to spec, but I only need about 2Mbps data transfer rate. Option 1 - Since I haven't found any cabling kits like there are for ethernet plugs, I am going to have to solder the conductors inline at each end from a salvaged FW cable. Option 2 - Use an interface converter at each end that will reliably transfer over 30m of solid core copper cable at 2Mbps minimum. Option 3 - ??? Any thoughts or suggestions on the subject? Thanks, Jason | |||||||||||||

True, I do get lots of hits, however they are mainly 15ft. cables that can be grouped together, or a more attractive fiber optic link. The problem, however, is that I'm stuck with this 30m STP cable and need a protocol that will work at the data rate I need. -Jason Al Dykes wrote: > >Hi All,

Check out Black Box out of PA. Much of their stuff is rebranded and some
