AC power supply extension wire

[xvilar]

Hi, I would like to buy a wire extension for the RT2600ac AC adpater (power suply) because I've the plug a bit far 3mt and I would like to know if a extension wire 2.1mm x 5.5mm male / female will be the right one ..

I've the original Synology AC ADAPTER 42W_1_EU

thanks!

- officially called:

DC power barrel connector or jack 5.5 x 2.1, also suitable for 5.5x2.5 diameter

3m is "so so" for such power supply, better is extend the 230V wire (same cost)

better is extend the 230V wire (same cost)

It's what right thinking people do: oh it's what I did No bias is present in this opinion.

While stiffer, a standard 230V flex will withstand flexing better than the DC side. If you can place a 1 or 2-way extension then that would be my suggestion.

DC reduction quality for such distance extension is another point to consideration
