I found that commercially available cables with micro USB had too large a voltage drop for my system to work. I bought a micro USB plug that I could solder heavier wires.

The CP2102 only provides the serial output.
I used the Boost Buck converter, a separate module that I installed in the Box, to power the Raspberry Pi. I wired it directly to the Raspberry Pi, not through the micro USB port. Mine is installed in the airplane. Wired to a breaker and to the IFD.
I would anticipate that the MicroUSB may provide enough power assuming your runs are short and your supply is running at the upper end of the pi voltage range. I prefer a more permanent connection than the micro USB. If you're using a USB GPS, you'll need to make sure that you can squeeze all four USB devices in the 4 USB ports, or work an alternate option. You can try short USB extension cables as well. They make them with 90-degree connectors which may help.
