Yes there are loads of extension cables for USB C cords. I picked up a couple on Amazon, which work perfectly with the two Apple Watch 7's we got recently.
If you can use deggie's suggestion that would work as well. In my situation, I couldn't use an extension cord. I needed to actually extend the charging cable for my watch. So Amazon, to the rescue.
I bet a 3 foot power extension cable is cheaper. All of the USB-C extension cables I've seen that have proper shielding, are rated for fast charging, and are mFi certified were a bit on the pricey side.
They work great with the fast charger for our Apple Watches, which is really all I needed them to do. Several people were using them with MacBook Pro's, so I figured that was good enough for what I needed.
Why not just buy a 3 foot extension cable, plug it into the wall (mains), plug the power adapter into the extension cord and your cable into the power adapter.
I'm sure it would be a cheaper option. Just not one which worked where I needed one to work, so the USB C extenders were what I needed.
I'm curious, how much did a shielded, fast charge rated, mFi cable cost and what was the length?
I needed 2 two foot extenders and they were $9.99/apiece. $20 total.
And they have all those certifications? Amazon makes me hesitant at times as some shops make claims that turn out to be false.
