Have you considered to just use a power cord extension to bring the number of voltage outlets required where you need it when using the supplied cable? This thread for example is about longer USB-C-to-Lightning cables, but the physical laws mentioned in the comments still apply here too. ☺️

Thought I would update this thread rather then create another....
Was also looking for a longer cable, but doesn't seem to be one in existence.....
Wondering if I could use a USB-C to USB-C extension cable in between the adapter and the magsafe cable - most are limited to 100w, but should still be enough for everything but the most intensive use, surely?

I bought a 10 foot USB C Male to USB C female 100 watt-rated cable. The male end is plugged into my Apple stock 100watt power supply, and the female end is plugged into my stock USB C to MagSafe cable. I've been using it since I got my M1 Max in November. It's worked perfectly. Most I've ever seen go through it is 76 watts, but I don't check it very often. Usually just forget that it's there.
HTH
I believe my older MagSafe 2 cable was longer. I would prefer not having a power adapter extension cable or a USB-C extension cable. Are there any decent MagSafe 3 cables that are longer these days? Just would be much "cleaner" IMO. Thanks!
There are third-party 10ft MagSafe 3 cables, and MagSafe tips that accept any length USB-C to USB-C cable that are now available.
