Question: I need a longer cable with the Aten uc232A usb to serial converter. What product can I use?
Answer: Depending on how long of a cable you need, you can try a longer USB extension cable (max around 16 feet for USB 2.0 and 10 feet for USB 1.0). Longer runs will require an "active" extension solution to overcome the USB distance limitation. A series of these units might work (up to 75 feet): https://www.kvm-switches-online.com/gue216.html.
For even longer runs, where latency may become a problem, you may want a simple USB extender like this one: https://www.kvm-switches-online.com/0dt23011.html. This type of product will also give you the best performance, again depending on how long of a run you need to make.
