Wouldn't the RS-232 spec be more restrictive than the cat-5 spec? You can
probably use a cable that is longer than spec, but I'm sure that you would
want to
be cautious about doing this in a production environment.
Found this on CCO:
IEEE Standard RS-232 Transmission Speed Versus Distance
Baud Rate Distance(Feet) Distance (Meters)
2400 200 60
4800 100 30
9600 50 15
19200 25 7.6
38400 12 3.7
56000 8.6 2.6
