ok with the great weather we are having in ny.. grrrrrrr my mind wonders. i sit thinking... the ribbon cable from the sammies front lens board. to the main board... if it gets rewired onto say cat5 cable.. and move the cam to remoute spot. but leave the lens board on the cam..
iam thinkin noise issues. but who knows i guess... the remote site would be 25 foot away.. so cam chip board on scope. the rest of the cam 25 foot away..
any thoughts ideas ?

Would depend on volt drop over that distance ..would rather run a power cable to full camera..if its only to use the menu button on rear of camera..use a utc controller (up the coaxial) this can be plugged into your usb grabber via adapters.

Cable is cheap, your idea is worth a try. You might want to check the specs of Cat 5, 6 or 7 cables. You may increase your chances of success with the faster rated cables. One thing to keep in mind is to keep the original wire pair twists as intact as you possibly can. Only untwist the pairs enough to make the connectors. I have made and tested thousands of Cat drops in the years I did installations before retiring. Surprisingly, taking one extra twist out of a wire pair can cause a test to fail. Do a Google on Cat 5 and 6 installation. Years ago I modified a Mintron video camera buy turning the front CCD circuit board sideways in relation to the other boards. I removed the case and made brackets to make the camera "T" shaped rather than long and straight. This allowed me to mount the camera at prime focus without the camera hitting the bottom of my Meade's fork mount. Be very careful with your connections. Meter the individual connections and double check that you haven't interchanged any. Might be hard to see the smoke from twenty five feet away.

Interesting idea Phil. I don't know how much current goes through those flat ribbons but you wouldn't want to lose any going over distance. Certainly worth a try, you might be onto something
