Hi, anyone experimented & tried running servos on cat5 over a long distance, & if so, what was achieved. I can double up on cores to help. There seems to be the usual conflicted of opinions out there. It's for points on my RC battery set up. Thanks
Thanks for the info on these - not seen them before.Hi Phil, It would be around 50-60 feet. But on my travel's i see they do a cat5-6 extender, so will look into these. "Up to 30 metres & 4 servos"
I get the impression the power is ok, but the signal can get interfered with & servos not stopping where you like them to.

you want to be sure that the power is oke.I get the impression the power is ok,
Its going to be well protected, but i know what you mean. The Tupperware boxes i have found better than a lot of electrical boxes & this will have a Kippo shed covering the box. I also pop one or two Silica gel sachets in the box & found them to be very good. "The damp absorbers that look like tea bags"How long will it last?
Depends if it has power on it 24/7 and gets damp..
I have had things die in months. - Copper tracks migrated, due to constant power and damp.
There again, had a home-brew solar light setup, which lasted six and a half years. - Same cells, wire-rot in the end.
