Also, I wouldn´t advise you having this type of extenders, it´s just an extra and dubious contact connection on the audio path. You spent a lot on your converter and cables and now you want to insert a piece of plastic in between. Not the best option in my opinion.

I would buy a good quality extra long db25 to db25 cable with the same pinout to replace you´re existing one, going straight from the converter I/O to the patch. I´m assuming that you have a patch with a db25 connector on the back.

Alternatively, did you ever considered (if possible) exchanging the position of your 192 on the rack, closer to the patchbay?

I have several extra DB25 to DB25, so I could use one of them to make up the distance. FWIW, I've ordered the female/female adapter you referenced, as well as another (longer) DB25-open end from Redco for my patchbay. If I feel the adapter is doing any degradation to my signal, I'll wire the new (longer) cable to the patchbay. For 10 bucks, I thought it couldn't hurt to give it a try, I can always send it back. My patchbay is soldered, which is why the option of using the female/female adapter is appealing, as I really don't want to have to solder a new cable into it if I don't have to. Buy, I will if necessary.

I'm pretty sure a 1 inch metal connector is not going to degrade your signal. Unless it is wired wrong. But that specific adapter is Tascam standard like all db25 for audio so I think you will be fine.
