The primary issue that may arise from using a really long cable to connect a desktop computer to a router is **attenuation**.
Attenuation refers to the loss of signal strength over long distances in cables, which can lead to degraded performance or connectivity issues. While the other options listed are potential concerns in different contexts, they are not specifically related to the long cable used for the connection.
