Extending charging cable

Anonymous

I have a Surface 3 with a Micro USB charging connector and a cable to a standard USB which pugs into the charger. How can i extend this? It doesn't work with a normal male to female USB extension cable.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

    Hi, BirdInt'Hand!

    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Community and posting your inquiry. I see you wish to extend your charging cable. To be sure we are on the same page, please allow me to ask questions so I will understand the situation better. Do you have a Surface 3 charger with a USB port on the brick? Do you wish to use a different wire to plug into its USB port to charge another device or the Surface 3? If possible, can you post a photo of what you wish to achieve and label them in the photo? This would really help us out.

    Looking forward for your response!

    Kind regards,

    Not all cables are equal and Surface 3 is a device that requires a cable that
    handles the power needed. What I found was that extension cables did not work at
    all. But the combination of https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019Q4TJZC/ (I got
    the 6 foot cable) and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KWY703I/ worked.
