Hardware Misc Solder extension wire on power adapter?

[Compi]

Hello.

My switch power adapter cable is too short for my use case. I want to solder an extension wire of roughly 1 meter in between the power brick and the USB plug.

Would that work? I have the necessary soldering skills. It's for dock use.

USB-C female to USB-C male cable is both safer and easier.

It's a lot of wires to solder but 1 meter should be no problem.
If you only solder the +5v and ground, the Nintendo adapter won't switch to fast charging.
So as already mentioned, an USB-C extension cable or just an power cord extension cable is the easiest solution.

I will second the idea to use a regular extension cord. Save the time, or risk of soldering something together. An electrical extension cord is cheap compared to a usb-c extension. Swing by the dollar store.

Got it soldered, only three wires were in my cable. Works fine
