Cable Substitution Question

Hello All,

Have a client who is wiring desks in a hearing room for real-time transcription feeds. The RT feeds are simple serial data, and when you buy the basic "mobile" hardware it uses flat six-conductor cable, wired straight through, to RJ-11 or RJ-12 ends.

Does anyone see any problems from using Cat5 cable to carry this signal?

Thanks! Patrick Keenan

Should not be a problem as far as you don't go further distance than the original cable would support. Simple non-balanced serial application on CAT5 cable would normally get you not further than 300 feet (90 meters)
