Yes, the Chinese knockoffs might be available for a little while but yes it can be gotten. Spiro, the reason for not using an RS232 extension cable might have something to do with pinout including TX on Side "A" connected to RX on Side "B" and RX on Side "A" connected to RX on Side "B". You can't have the cables wired wrong. 

Actually, it isn't that expensive. 

It's all available. The point was, the person has choices. I did mention about the Amigastore.eu site that has those cables.

There is all kinds of sources. Either you can either get the connectors and wires and wire it up or you can one pre-made.
