Serial over CAT5

[Andy.Powell@xxxxxxx]

Hi,

I've got a couple of 9-pin serial to
CAT5 adapters (unfortunately sealed units) and was wondering if anyone
knew which wires are used from the CAT5 end. I assume that it's not all of
them so could I pass the audio signal from the line out on my sound card
down it too? From my knowledge of serial comms were usually talking pins
2,3,7 (on a 25 way) what about a 9-pin?

One other thing... can I pass 5 volts
down CAT5 safely... would the voltage at the other end of say 100m length
of CAT 5 drop significantly?

Many thanks

Andy
