The 50' thing is allover the web. Search for "rs-232 max distance" or "max distance serial cable". At one point i knew what all of it meant. The only thing i remember now is countless responses/posts/accounts of that distance being easily doubled/tripled/quadrupled over Cat5.
Yes, lots of claims about the max length, but the actual eia standards for rs232 (or eia232) do not actually specify such, afaik.
