This particular extension was recommended by someone that has a Vive pre.

I can't find the original recommendation at the moment :/
I got this one for use with my HD558s. I'm then running a 30 ft long headphone extension (15ft from computer to link box, 15 ft for Vive cable) back to a Behringer headphone amp and then a DAC. I also have other 15 ft extensions (DisplayPort, USB, power) from the link box back to my PC.
The end result? 30 ft of Vive leash, headphone cable is cable-wrapped back to a proper headphone amp and DAC. No plugging/unplugging, and good sound quality to boot.
Granted, take everything I just said above with the understanding that I don't have a Vive yet, and it might work great...or not!
Search for DC extension, they make them. Stuff like this but you'll have to get the plug size right. Alternatively just cut the plug end off and extend / reterminate the existing cable...
The problem with extending the DC side of any wall power adapter is that the voltage drop from wire gauge, length and connector loss is much more significant for low voltage DC than it is on the 110VAC side. Adding a dozen feet is probably not a problem at [email protected] but it would still be ideal to extend the other side of the transformer wiring (add a regular household extension cord) instead.
If you want 50ft HDMI I can confirm that this cable works perfectly, camera turned on and everything, for only a couple bucks more than the OP's cable. I'm using this extender for linkbox power and two of these extenders for the lighthouses.
It really is nice to move your setup to a much bigger play space, and being able to extend so far is really handy.

I have those and they work fine. There might be cheaper ones around but that's the plug size you'll want
You want a 1.5mm x 3.5mm adapter. Or just an extension if it suits your fancy. If you want an entirely new adapter, make sure it's rating for at least as many amps as the original. I think it's just 1A, but you can double check to make sure.Scratch that, just reread the title. Thought you were asking for the linkbox. 2.1mm x 5.5mm for the lighthouse/base stations. 2.5A if you want to replace, though I read ~1A should work if you're in a pinch
I don't have my Vive yet, but I'm reading they're 2.5m or approx 8ft. If you need longer cables you can either use a standard extension cord or something like this should work great for extending the cord itself.
