Anyone know what the longest run of rj11 a Visonic Powermax Pro will successfully send x10 commands through to an x10 interfacemodule?

I may need to move my x10 interface module closer to my breaker box in order to overcome possible signal loss and line interference issues.  I think I currently have a 12ft cable.  I'd like to route up to 100ft of cable if possible.

Thanks,

Kelly

It's a 5V TTL signal and the X-10 spec is somewhat forgiving so some delay in rise time may not be fatal. I suspect you could get by with even longer runs but I would  test before running the cable.

And, you would be better off to run down the causes of your signal loss rather than running the long cable.

If you decide to try finding the X10 signal problems.
Good information in these links.
