Thanks very much,FVM.

Maybe i need magnetic modules just like Ethernet network card to prevent external over-voltages.

As CAT5 cables ,it is allowed to run high-speed protocols such as 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet and FDDI, can 200 MBps LVDS connection be OK? The data rate is related to the load resistance and the length of UTP.

Maybe CAT6 cables is needed(it is for 1000 Mbps Fast Ethernet ) for longer distance transmission.
