It’s very hard to suggest individual items, because length of the cable as well as other factors are very important. I definitely recommend you read this, theres a lot of useful info and links: > [@Long-Run USB Power Cords electric\_plug](https://forums.wyze.com/t/long-run-usb-power-cords/252478): > > So you need to run a long USB power cord to power a camera or device. Here are some things you should be aware of. First, the longer a cable gets, the lower the voltage that will be available at the end of the cable. At some point, the voltage will be too low for the device. Also, the higher the current required at the device, the lower the voltage that will be available. So higher-current devices need shorter runs than their peers. The USB spec asks that all voltages be at least 4.75V. D… The Wyze 20ft extension cable is probably your best bet, and you may want to find a higher voltage usb block as well (like the ones suggested on that link) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.wyze.com/t/extension-usb-power-cable/257146)._
