C-More to 5/04
I am fairly new to the C-more line of products and have a question. I am trying to connect an EA7-T8c panel to a AB 5/04. Everything works fine connected with the 3 meter cable (EA-SLC-232-CBL), but I need to located this panel about 30 feet away from the PLC, the 5/04 does not have the RJ45 jack theat the previous models did. Any suggestions

MAGOO5150, as far as a supplier for D-sub connectors, I suggest trying
http://www.l-com.com You can save yourself soldering (or crimping) D-sub connectors by using the AutomationDirect Ziplink modules and using standard cables with molded-on D-sub connectors. RS232 can go about 50ft. Use good shielded cable. Is this what you're looking for?

If the run ends up being longer than the specified 50 feet, you could always put an FA-ISOCON at the PLC side and use RS-422.
The C-more panel doesn't need the ISOCON because it has RS-422/485 built in (unless you just want total isolation on the network run).
