ISDN Wiring Question

Red Alert · 2003-10-19 11:04:56

I want to move my ISDN connection to another room, and i'm planning to leave the PlugNPlay box where it is. Can I just use a very long CAT5 cable?

Cat 5 will work fine as long is a straight thru wiring.

Watch out for the 100 m limit

Thought the 100m limit only applied if you were using it for networking 10Base whatever...
BWT: if you were networking a small 4 port hub/switch in the middle would give you 200m
