I'm trying to upgrade the power supply cord for some LED lights in a cabinet I'm moving to a different room. The existing adapter has a standard 3-prong outlet, and I need a longer cable to reach the wall outlet. I'm not very knowledgeable about electrical stuff, so I want to make sure that the longer cord I'm considering will work safely with my current power adapter. Here are the links to what I have:
1. My power supply: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RNW8316?smid=A2QEP0IMOO32F1&th=1
2. The longer cord I'm looking at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09WQSQ518?smid=A4R9RZO6QOEKY&th=1
Will this work without causing any issues?

That longer cord should work just fine! You're only replacing the power cord from your outlet to the power supply, and since the plug matches your existing setup (based on your links), it should be all good. There are some discussions around cord length affecting power consumption, but with a small power supply like yours, you won’t run into any problems. Hope this eases your mind!
Just a quick question—when you say you're moving the cabinet, is there already an outlet in the new room? Or are you looking to run the cable through a doorway? Just making sure you have a safe setup for the new location!
Yes, there's an outlet in the new room. It'll just be further away, so I need the longer cable.
