The system will not work over CAT5.  The GEM-RS232 only works with the
supplied 6-conductor cable.  If you need a longer connection, add a serial
cable on the PC side.

BTW, if you were to use a CAT5 cable with one of the older modules, such as a
PCI-MINI, the system would release the pre-packaged blue smoke.  With the
GEM-RS232 the only thing it will do is not communicate.
