    Are you sure you know what you are doing? I have never heard of such a thing. Usually the tv/soundbar would just be connected through hdmi or optical toslink and they would have their own power cables...

    should have specified... it needs to be male/male... so an extension cable like that won't work

    Can't believe they don't sell the cable... but apparently they will only sell it with an official samsung piece of metal to hang the soundbar from the TV... which they've discontinued.

    I guess the official cable is an IEC c7 to c7 (male/male) cable

    Given the price for one cable, get two of them, cut both and reconnect the two males via a terminal block which you can then insulate using tape, might not be easy on the eye but it should work

    @mitochondrium ... yep, I was going to do that if no one could point me at a finished product. It will be hidden behind the TV so it's not like anyone will see the splice. But I'm sure my wife will ask whether its safe (that's what she does)

    Well terminal blocks are standard issue to connect lamps to wiring and back when there still light bulbs those drew more current than most TV do nowadays ( probably do not need to convince you). You may use a heat shrink tube instead of tape for the insulation, might look more convincing
