Can someone tell me what the safe maximumn length for RCA cable is. I'd
like to run L & R Audio and Video from a VCR to a TV that is approx. 50
ft.away. The longest pre-made I've seen advertised is 25 ft.
Thanks in advance.

Could this person use RG6 instead? For the minimal cost increase it
could have other uses.

Yes RG6 would be even better than the RG59. Over the run he would have
less loss and capacitive loading as compared to the RG59.

What is the maximum cable(RJ11?) length that can be used with
the TW523?
