Question:
The quad. encoder to RS-232 adapter comes with a short serial cable that is permanently attached at the adapter. It will hang 1 foot down from my computer. The wire for the encoder isn't quite long enough. Can I use Cat5e cable to extend the 8 wires coming from the encoder? The encoder has the wires soldered to the board; there is no connecter to unplug. With the Cat5e will I run the risk of noise?
