     hi.....I have brought this issue up myself with autel.....as far as I know,  they only do a replacement cable. Some people say they have got one from a computer shop....but when ever I have asked, I have had no luck. Should you find a longer replacement please let me know.

     I found that a standard DB15 serial computer cable works great as an extension, they come in a standard length of 6'.
    I have also seen them on amazon in 15' lengths. They are not stiff like the OE cable, the only thing you have to do is trim the plug a little so it clears the housing on the scanner.
