FC-40, Control Cable Extension


hb9fbn
 

Hi All,
I refer to the FC-40 Control Cable which is just 5 meters long (abt.
16/17 feet).

It is an 8 poles shielded cable straight wired, ended with 2x mini-Din8
plugs. I wonder how long can it be extended without to cause
interferences/malfunctions to the FC-40 respectively to the FT857/897.

Yaesu/Vertex don't say a word about it.

I wonder if someone has done such an extension as well as where he
found the extension cable (maybe in Mac "old" serial cables,
unfortunately hard to find in EU), or perhaps just cutting the original
cable and extending it by means of shielded connectors and a random
lenght of shielded 8 poles cable?

Many thanks in advance for any possible suggestion!
I apologize for "my" english :o)
