Okay, but that's Amazon, so they can just commingle inventory with a fake. Hence

I’ve ordered the sand cord on three separate occasions with no issues. It’s easy to verify that they are real.

Okay, I'll bite; how?

(In all sincerity - I don't believe you, but if there really is an easy solution, that would make my life better and would be appreciated)

Big minus: Max length is 5ft. That doesn't work for me.

Also, a lot of the reviews are really bad, everything from poor construction to not being flexible enough to the connectors not fitting.

5 feet is actually the red flag here.

It is highly unlikely they are selling a compliant 100W cable that is over 3 feet.
