Ah, I see it now.
Extending it is possible but if you're not going to cut/solder/splice
your own wire, you'll need an off-the-shelf extension cable that has the
right connectors. Measure the diameter of the barrel connector at the
end of the wall wart's cable and get a rough measurement of the diameter
of the hole. Chances are your connector will be 5.5mm x 2.5mm or 5.5mm x
2.1mm or 3.5mm x 1.35mm.
Once you have an idea of the size, you can order what you need on
Amazon. For example, "5.5mm barrel connector extension cable" turns up
dozens of results.
