The RS232 repeater - Generally The most effective and efficient way of extending a RS232 line is by using a RS232 repeater in the form of a RS232 to RS422 converter. The RS232 repeater line is then converted to a RS422 signal and back again to a RS232 repeater signal. This way you will keep all the data signals at the RS232 repeater end and effectively reduce noise in the RS232 repeater transmission line. An RS232 repeater can easily be converted into a RS232 over CAT5 repeater simply by using a DB9 to RJ45 adapter to each RS232 repeater. This approach is ideal if you plan to use existing CAT5 cabling which is widely used in many office and industrial builidngs.
