Power cords length is too short

My TV hangs on the upper wall.  Why is there no power cord longer then  5'?  ive already stretched the cord to where it broke.  Best buy claimed there was no replacement so we had to buy another unit with the same, 5' cord.  I spoke with ROKU and that is the only option.  What i really need is a 10' cord.

Umm... what's wrong with a good old fashioned extension cord?

Looks like **bleep** running up my wall.  My fire stick has a 10’ cord so I don’t understand why Roku doesn’t.

Re: Power cords length is too short

So, you prefer two ten-foot cords for Firestick and Roku, instead of one extension cord? Install an outlet high on the wall, send the cords through the wall with something like this:
