Apple TV Power cord Length

I am about to purchase an Apple TV, but need to know in advance how long the power cord is. I would like to run it behind my wall just like the majority of the cables for my HDTV.
Would you believe for the life of me that I cannot find this information here at apple.com? User manual, dicsussions, etc - nothing has this info. Hoping someone out there does, or at the very least would humor me and take a measuring tape to their AppleTV power cord.
Thanks!!

Ashley May1,
You haven't entered any location info in "My Settings" so we don't know where in the world you live. Since the power cord shipped with Apple products varies by country, that info would help.
Anyway, if the cord isn't long enough, is there some reason you can't use a standard extension cord to reach an outlet? While, as someone suggested, you may be able to find a longer cord with a "figure 8" receptacle to match the socket on the Apple TV, it is usually a lot easier & cheaper to use a standard extension cord.
Failing that, anyone with electrical wiring experience should be able to cut off the plug end of the Apple TV's power cord & splice on a longer cord in a manner that meets your local electrical code, for instance with crimp-on "butt" connectors.

  • Power cord length

    How long is the power cord length for the MacBook Pro?

    The cord with the MagSafe connector, going from the
    power supply to the MBP, is about 1.78 m (70
    inches).
    My three-prong extension cord, going from the wall
    socket to the power supply, is about the same length,
    although I have the German version with a Schuko
    plug, so the US version may be different.
    US version is about the same.

  • Difference between an apple brand power cord and a knockoff power cord?

    So I bought a RocketFish branded 30-pin to USB power cord for my iPod Classic because I had to throw out the other one for wear and tear. I went to the store earlier to pick up a new one. I usually shop at Best Buy for all electronics and accessories. However, I came across an Apple branded 30-pin to USB cord and a RocketFish branded 30-pin to USB cord and was confused as I usually am about certain products. I asked an employee what the difference is and she couldn't give me a straight answer. So my question is what is the difference between the two brands? i need one that will charge and SYNC?
    I have used the Apple brand power cord before and have no complaints except the wear and tear is very easy to do if you aren't careful with it.

    They are basically the same except one is made in a Chinese factory for Apple and is Apple-branded. The other is just a knock-off.

  • Apple TV Power Cord

    I would like to know where I can purchase the electrical Power Cord of the Apple TV that plugs into the power port of the Apple TV\. For some reason the plug that goes into the apple TV is defective

    It's a standard figure of 8 terminated power cord, nithung special about it apart from the colour.
    You might have one lying around from an old cd/dvd player or radio.

  • Will apple replace power cords?

  • Apple TV Power Cord Will Not Stay Attached

    I just got my Apple TV and it works beautifully except for one problem, the power cord won't stay attached. I currently have to brace the cord against the wall with a straight line to the power port on the unit. The slightest touch disconnects. Is there a trick to this I am unaware of? Or did I get the wrong cord with the unit.

    Thanks for the info. I just wasn't pushing it in hard enough. After waiting so long for this to come out I guess I was afraid of breaking it. Had to wiggle it in there but it eventually worked.
    Thanks again!

  • New Apple laptops, power cords and batteries

    Eventually, my parents' white MacBook is going to wear out and need to be replaced. I am keeping an eye on the discount deals for refurbished laptops on the Apple Store. I may also have to do some business traveling in the future, necessitating that I get a laptop as well for on-the-road computing.
    A few necessary questions:
    1: If they order a refurb MacBook Air, where do you go to find an extra AC plug-in cord?
    2: Are there any cigarette-lighter-adaptor plug-in kits available for the current generation of Apple laptops, so that a laptop could be operated/battery topped off while in a vehicle or on an airplane?
    3: What about connecting to AC power while traveling outside the US? If an Apple laptop user goes to, say, Europe (Germany, UK, France, Denmark, etc.) does he/she have to carry a special connection kit along to plug-into AC wall power?
    4: What are the realistic longevity/operational lifespan expectations for Apple's current laptop batteries? How many years should these batteries last, and how expensive are they to have Apple replace?
    Thanks in advance!

    A few necessary questions:
    1: If they order a refurb MacBook Air, where do you go to find an extra AC plug-in cord?
    Apple's Online Store or a local Apple retailer.
    2: Are there any cigarette-lighter-adaptor plug-in kits available for the current generation of Apple laptops, so that a laptop could be operated/battery topped off while in a vehicle or on an airplane?
    Yes there are such animals for cars. I don't know about airplanes.
    3: What about connecting to AC power while traveling outside the US? If an Apple laptop user goes to, say, Europe (Germany, UK, France, Denmark, etc.) does he/she have to carry a special connection kit along to plug-into AC wall power?
    The power unit auto-switches from 110 to 220 v systems. All one needs is a wall outlet plug adaptor. They are available in Apple's World Travel Kit as well as from most AAA travel stores.
    4: What are the realistic longevity/operational lifespan expectations for Apple's current laptop batteries? How many years should these batteries last, and how expensive are they to have Apple replace?
    Impossible to say since the answer depend upon usage. All we know is the battery's lifespan is supposedly around 1000 full charge cycles.

  • European Power Cords

    Hello All,
    I'll be moving with my MacPro and Cinema Display to Munich, Germany on November 30. I need to get European Power Cords for my machine.
    Any ideas as to where I can buy Apple-branded power cords for European style outlets? There's currently no Apple store in Germany.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Hi Rob and welcome to Germany,
    Gravis is a well known Apple 'store' in Germany.
    They have a shop in Munich, see here: http://www.gravis.de/stores/muenchen/ and should have the appropriate power-chord avaiable.
    Have a nice time in Deutschland.

  • Apple IMAC model#M6498 Power Cords?

    I am running a woman's shelter.  A man generously donated 11 Apple IMac Model #M6498 computers so the women can go to school and/or job search online.  However, they came with no power cords.  Where can I buy the cords?

    I believe that model is the early G4 iMacs, the first flat screens on a metal bar.  Those models need a C5 plug or "Mickey Mouse" plug on one end.
    I have used Monoprice.com before (not for this item) with excellent service and results.

  • What do I do if I lost my power cord to my iPhone 5 and there are no lightning cords or adapters available in my city or on-line at the apple store for 2-3 weeks?? My phone is going to die - I have no way to get the new power cord.

    I got the new iPhone 5 last week and have been happy with it. I went to the apple store on-line a few days later to order some adapters for the power cord, so that I could use it with my alarm clock and dock at work - although they are back ordered until nov.  yesterday I lost my lightning power cord and there are NONE available in my city and the apple store is till out of stock for at least a couple of weeks.  My phone now has 10% battery and losing last - what can I do to power my phone???? I use it for work, I need to have it working and available butndont seem to have any options.  Please let me know if there is another device I can use to power my phone!!

    Sorry to tell you but unless you have a Retail Apple Store close by, they are the only ones I have found with all the adapters and accessories. I bought an extra lightning to usb adapter the other day to use in my truck. Good luck....

  • Where to buy a 2m power cord for Apple TV And Mac mini?

    As question above. Normal figure of 8 power cords don't fit! Need a mains power extension to both Mac mini and Apple TV of at least 2m.
    Thanks

    The connector used on the Mac mini is as you say a figure of 8, the official designation being IEC C7.
    It is my experience standard C7 power leads work with no problems, see the following as an example one I believe meets your requirements, a 2M one is also available on Amazon.
    See http://www.amazon.co.uk/Guilty-Gadgets-®-Projector-receiver/dp/B00D1FCKI6/
