    Default Dock connector to USB cable extension???

    I'm looking for a long cable that charges the iphone/ipod. The one that comes with the iphone/ipod is approximately three feet long. I was looking for one that was maybe twice the length. The three foot cable hardly reaches from the wall to anywhere. I wanted to see if anyone knew of where to purchase one or if the part even existed. Thanks.

    Check this out. All you need is a 30-pin to USB cable. 30-pin is commonly referred to as 'iPod'. So iPod to USB is acceptable as well.

    For ~ $15 you can get a 6 foot cable. $15 because it is made by Belkin. You could get a knock-off brand for probably half that.
    And it will be like a taco inside a taco within a Taco Bell that's inside a KFC that's within a mall that's inside your dream!

    Or you could just buy a really long USB cable, all you'd need to do is attach the iPhone cable to it.

    Yea, you could just use a usb extension cable like 461 said. Only issue with that is those are usually more expensive then that sync cable that the hottguy up there listed..

    Cheap and easy?

    USB Cable

    Scroll down to USB 2.0 Extension Cable - A Male to A Female

    It's only 1 dollar, and shipping is cheap. monoprice is where I get just about anything when it comes to cables.

    Need Higher quality, and full 30pin support?

    I also have never heard of monoprice before, but I got the A to A male/female and now I have a 9' dock cable! Works great, and it came pretty quick too, a few short days. And nicely packaged. Thanks for the referral. I'm sure I'll shop them again in the future.

    yeah I've been a fan for years. I first found them surfing around avsforum.com Check out how cheap HDMI cables are too, I dont know how they stay in business even.
