    Twinax balun, etc. questions

    I've got one of these 5250-to-USB converters, some clone 5250 adapters and a compatible terminal. I've got twinax pigtails and cables which work, but also have some RJ-45 baluns and I was wondering if I could use a pair of baluns and an RJ-45 cable between them instead of a twinax cable like...
