anyone have any suggestions on where to buy coleman or similar quality cable online?

Thanks Neuro, I have a few bags of those, working well in the garage crawlspace. Might order some D-rings or just pick up some conduit clamps for the large runs in the basement ceiling.

Main reason for using the cat5e is that I had a few cases sitting around, it wont be used for data or baluns, but for ir repeaters, rs232, etc if needed.

Seems to rather quite in here for the last couple of months, has anyone heard of any progress on this front?

What would be the easiest way to do this? Splice it from a pc power supply? Looks like quatech now offers a version of the QSE-100D with 5v for powering external devices. (lol not that it helps unless I want to buy a new one for 12 times what this one set me back)

It's UPB Pim, PIM-R from PCS I believe. I'm running my automation server as a vm on an esxi box other wise I wouldn't be to concerned with making this work. Well that and I have two of those Quatech boxes from the hot deals thread earlier this year. Haven't run into any issues using them with...

I'm unable to connect my pim-r via my quatech serial server and was wondering if anyone else has had an issues doing the same.
