I have some radio receivers which output a data stream at 115K Baud (RS232)=
.. I need to locate 3 of them at the end of ~50m of cable. I was doing this =
by converting to RS422, driving an RS422 cable (expensive) and reconverting=
 to RS232 at the other end. Worked fine & gave me the bidirectional data tr=
ansfer I needed.

Our layouts have changed which means I now need to run 3 longer RS422 cable=
s, which means new cable for all receivers. I'd like to avoid that if at al=
l possible and was wondering if a pair of these would work using a single C=
AT6 shielded cable rather than 3 RS422 shielded twisted pair:

The data from PC -> radios, while at 115kB, is just setup stuff. Send a few=
 commands once & the radio dumps data at 115kB continuously to the PC. In t=
he last incarnation of this system, I was using 1 PC to control 3 radios an=
d 2 antenna mounts, so that PC & link combination was fine. I'd be interest=
ed to hear if anyone has used these before, in particular with multiple hig=
h speed RS232 data paths.

Thanks,

Joe
