1The fire-hazard danger caused by over-heating the usb cable (or the charger itself since that has top deliver MORE power than it is design for if the extension USB cable happens to be an electrial bottleneck) is way worse than a 10 foot regular mains extension cord. USB cables usually don't have any useful information on the packaging to indicate whether they are safe to use for this.– TonnyCommented May 7, 2023 at 10:59

1While diy.se would tell you off for using permanent extension cords, I think that's mostly because of cables melting from kW loads, while 65W on the mains side even at 120V is only half an amp (and even less in 230V territories) – doesn't sound like a fire risk even with the most garbage extension cords. Whereas the same 65W at USB-C voltages would be quite a few amps... (I am not an electrician, however.)– grawity_u1686Commented May 7, 2023 at 11:00

I have used power bars very safely and added that note to my post.– anonCommented May 7, 2023 at 13:14

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
