Roku setup

[ctc274]

as the title says, I just bought a new Roku streaming stick. The USB cable does not extend enough for my wall outlet. I need about another foot. Does Roku sell an extension cord? Does anyone have any products on Amazon that they recommend?

any and all insight would be appreciated!

I would lean towards extending the USB A side (full size USB) rather than the micro-USB side. Since the full-size side is just power and a simple/robust connector, I would think any cable would work there.

You can purchase USB extension cables - male USB-A connector at one end and female USB-A socket at other end at most anyplace that carries this stuff.  Try local Walmart, Target, or Best Buy, or from Amazon.

Or make your own by adding a female-to-female connector to a standard male-male cord.

Or extend the house power with a standard 120v ectension cord.
