Thread: RS232 Cable extending
Threaded View

Hi all
Been a member for a while now, and have finally acquired a Tekcel V-Series 8x4 router. I'm looking after the computer end of the set-up at our workshop and have hit on a possible snag.
There is a 50ft RS232 cable that came with the machine but I am about 6ft short to connect the PC to the router with the space we have available. I know that 50ft is the standard max length of these cables, so my question is really I can extend it with another 2m cable screwed into this one, or whether I am likely to experience problems of any sort?
Also, with that sort of connection, any tips on what kind of cable would be best to buy? I have heard the terms 'handshaking' and 'non-handshaking' but I don't know if it makes any odds to this situation.
Thanks in advance for your any help!
