Cable-Length Requirements (for CAT5)
Serial binary data signals (RS-232) transmit best up to distances of 50 feet (15m). Beyond
that length, the probability of signal degradation increases. For this reason, Belkin
recommends that the length of the CAT5 UTP cable between the Switch and the
connected servers does not exceed 50 feet (15m).
Cables and Adapters
Belkin highly recommends you use Belkin Category 5e, FastCAT5e, or Category 6 Patch
Cables for your Serial Console to help ensure the signal integrity.
