I need to make an extension cord for the AC power supply for my MP3 player. The plug and jack sizes are 3.5mm OD / 1.35mm (approx) ID. I haven't been able to find a place online that sells these. Any clues?

BTW, the plug looks similar to this:

They only had the Adaptaplug from above, not the jack it connects to. :(

Bomber,

Is this what you are looking for?

They also have a version without the male end (I think it is 3 ft.).

Nah, I need the jack that the round part of the plug above goes into. The guy at Radio Shack looked through the store's catalog, and he couldn't find it anywhere. I just hacked up an old walkman that had a jack that fits, so hopefully that will do.
