USB 2.0 spec is 5 meters, about 17 feet, between devices.
USB 3.0/3.1 doesn't give a max distance spec but the generally accepted
distance is 3 meters between devices.
If it was me I'd use CAT5/6 cable, CAT6 being preferred because of the
bigger conductors and more twists per inch.
Less than $50 bucks for a couple hundred feet of bulk CAT6 and a couple
of DE9 connectors.

8 ft is not true for rs-232. Depends on type of cable and baud rate. 50ft is
generally fine and can go up to hundreds of feet. Maybe you are thinking about
usb.
