Can you extend the length of the USB charging cord using a regular USB extension cord?
Anyone done this?
Safe? Effective?
Thanks!

Why is the USB cable soooo short? 3ft is almost useless for me.
I can barely use while connected to my laptop as it normally sits on my desk. Forget about reaching the wall outlet behind my desk.
Adding a 6ft extension makes it too long! Arghh! Why not provide a 6ft cable Samsung?!
The chord on my Acer was short as well. I'm not sure why they are making them so short.

The shorter the cable, the cheaper to manufacture.
Bingo!
Seriously though, I'd be less upset about it probably if they didn't decide to use a proprietary connector in the first place.
I'm not sure about power, but I know for data over USB, it was recommended to use a max cable length of 16 ft. I least that's what I think it was when I read about it some years ago.
