Charging cable

I purchased an iPad Pro 12.9 in July. It must 4th or 5th generation. I want the longest charging cord possible. Is that 2m and only from apple?

Certified USB-C cables are technically limited to 2m. Longer USB-C cables cannot support full data rate.

In addition to their own 1m and 2m USB-C cables, Apple market Mophie (2m) and Belkin USB-C (1.2m) cables.

Perhaps a much cheaper solution that provides unrestricted extension is to simply use an AC extension cable - into which you connect your Power Adapter.
