See that white box (USB to outlet adapter) in the middle of the cord? The top right as is has the outlet plug that flips down, that part can be separated from the adapter, allowing you to use the "wall-e" to connect to the adapter. The idea is to extend the cord by using the extension cord.
Wall-E says thank you for the explanation! :)

To show it more clearly.
Super!
Thanks for doing that! A lot of first time soon to be mac owners thank you!:)
 
This is slightly off topic, but relevant.
Does anyone know where you can just by the 6' extender by itself?
Not for the iPad, but instead for any macbook.

I don't need another charger really so spending $29 on an extension cord is silly. Ill just buy a third party 6ft cable.
 
First off, it's not really clear whether the extension cord will come with the iPad, it might come with it, second the separate power adapter that they sell as an accessory comes with BOTH the extension and the power adapter, not just the extension.

It's pretty clear on their site, it does not come with the extension cord only the USB to outlet adapter. Same situation with iPhone.
