If you are only going to extend the cord, you could also:

1. Extend the mains cord of the adapter, by using a power strip or similar. This is the best way.
2. Cut the DC cord and add your extension in between the cut ends. You can use any connector pairs you have handy - just make sure that the polarity stays the same. Even RCA audio connectors are fine for this. Remember - the adapter side cable (the powered side) should be female, as that is safer - the male ones will short circuit if a metal object touches both the center and outer connections at the same time. Avoid using phono type jacks as they momentarily short circuit while the jack is being inserted into the socket.

Note that if you are going to make a longer cord using a new connector and wire, you will need to open the adapter case to make the connections. This is not easy - the adapter case is sealed - not meant to be opened.
