How many feet of wire possible using Full Dup object?

With sheilded 2 cond cable with both Tx and Rx on one set, how many feet can you run reliably between 2 Props? I have extra pins on the Max 3232's, and need to run 50 feet. Anyone tried a similar distance without the drivers? Using the drivers will require some surgery but is doable.

    On the HYDRA there is a RJ11 home networking connector with some series resistors and some R/C noise / reflection passives on there and got my personal driver to 1.5 megabit at 300 feet with phone cable which isn't even twisted. But, I did run gnds on either side of the signals tx/rx. So bottom line is you should be able to go hundreds of feet with the right reflection cancellation at each end from the propeller.

    Thanks Andre. I'll look around to see if I can see the circuit you are describing, that is good news.
