I've been able to user serial cables of ridiculous lenths (certainly 30m)
working with PCs in our lab with no problems, and that was with various
gender changers, crossover boxes and the like. I was told by a technician
that the RS-232 spec allows for a wire length of up to 100 feet, but in
practice one can make them much longer.
