Re: Cable length [was: Contact Information for Electronics]



The longest run calculation done on autocad showed 52 ft, I made the 
test cables 59' or 18 meters. the 3m connectors are difficult and I 
would suggest sending assemblies out for construction.
the cables I delivered today are not guaranteed.
