 Almost any computershop or DIY Market sells this cable for pretty low prices. (e.g. Reichelt [[http://www.reichelt.de/?ARTICLE=2520;|4X2 AWG26/7-10]])

 Standard full wired male to female **extension** RS232 cables are allowed, but up to a certain limit. (e.g.: Reichelt [[http://www.reichelt.de/?ARTICLE=30035;|AK2300]])\\
 It is never experienced how many can be used. A few will not disturb the communication, but it is __not able to conduct the full 3 Amp__ of the CAN-GC1(e).
