Is the UMIK-1 cable a USB-A TO USB-C? I am looking for a longer cable, preferably a 10 ft and may look for a 15ft as well.

Does a longer cable cause any issues with a quality connection?

Does it need to be a 2.0? (Same as what came in the box)

Do i need to look for a certain speed?

I appreciate any feedback or links to one that is good quality.

No issues using a longer cable or extender. This is the one I use:

I had problems with two different ~15 foot cables. I went back to the one supplied, no problems then. (And I have a new, and old UMIK-1). FYI.

I use this one (USB C-C, 10’) with my MacBook and works well, built well. I didn't want an extender, just a nice clean single cable.
