Transferring parallel signal through CAT5E
Anyone know how to send an 8 wire parallel signal through CAT5E about
200ft?I need to send the parallel signal from switch box and receive the signal into a computers parallel port.
The wiring I have setup is correct and will work through CAT5E on a short run (3ft).
On the long run the signal doesn't make it, I'm open to any suggestions using some kind of a converter Parallel to Ethernet then back to parallel, multiple parallel signal boosters, etc...
I cannot use RS-232 since most of the converters only allow 3 wire transfer and connot translate back to Parallel.
If anyone has suggestions or I should post in a different group please let me know.
Thank you
