Hi,
I often have to transfer data from PC to my decoder.
It stay at another room and I need of a long cable 15-16 meters.
Will I have problems?
Will the data be correctly transferred?
thanks

If you will have connect all correctly then NO!
You will not have a problems!

Den.

What cable, probably a serial cable right? Some cables have distant limits.

After reading the other responses, please note: *all* cables and data
transmission methods have distance limits, and those limits vary
according to the cable construction and signalling protocol (which
includes the hardware).
For best results, use a null modem cable with RS-232.
As long as the environnment is not electrically noisy or the cable
does not pass by a RFI device (eg: generator, another PC), ther should
be no problems.

What's a decoder?

NOTE on RS-232 Serial Cables

At lower peripheral speeds of up to 9600 baud,serial interfaces can
usually operate over cables up to 50 feet long. Use of special high
quality cable may in some cases allow this limit to be extended to as
much as 150 feet.

At 15-15 meters, you're at the end limit, [@ 9600 baud], for a
"standard" RS-232 cable.
Just keep that in mind when you buy a cable....
