Re: Ethernet / RS232 Signal Booster

["Patrick White" <simgenie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to everyone, especially Jerry who put me onto the root of my problem
which wasn't weak signal but rather a feedback problem. I was able to fix
the problem by following some instructions from Jerry in reworking one of my
connectors to eliminate a feedback problem.

Thanks again,

Patrick White

I believe he is talking about a repeater not a signal amplifier. He
indicated these are RS232 levels not a sat LNB output. Besides his problems
most likely lie elsewhere. Cat- 5 cable is good for 100M carrying Rs232
signals if wired properly.
