Agent Smith Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 If you use the right cables, you can go to about 80 feet by linking them :huh: Mr. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Smith Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I have had a camera running at nearly 60 foot. It was connected to a pc which was used for student registrations and worked without a hitch. That was 3 linked cables.Mr. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 A cable that length ought to be "active" to avoid signal degradation. Have a look at Maplin item # A96BF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Homestead's are cheaper than Maplin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
