How to segregate serial ports based on manufacturer attribute?
I’m trying to segregate serial ports based on the manufacturer attribute ATTRS {manufacturer}. I would like to assign /dev/ttyUSBx to those detected as from manufacturer A, where x can take a value between 0 and 9 only.

Even if there are no matching rules, udev will create the device node with the default name supplied by the kernel. Having persistently named device nodes has several advantages.
What are the most common operators in udev?
When writing rules which will potentially handle multiple similar devices, udev’s printf-like string substitution operators are very useful. You can simply include these operators in any assignments your rule makes, and udev will evaluate them when they are executed. The most common operators are %k and %n.
