Depending on the power requirements of the device you can get 15' off of

I suspect httaht RS232 has been used to drive
much longer cables than
USB, unscreend cables, etc. I you used USB i nthe same way you would be
repalcing complex ICs all the time.
Moo.. My beef ... USB cables force you to have everything on the
desktop. Sometimes you need to put someting over there rather than
right by the computer.
But who lives in a world where a single person writes
both sides (host
and client) software for a given USB application?
That is anotehr reason to dislike the thing!
