Longer power cable for 11pro?

As one can assume from the subject heading, I am curious as to whether or not a different usb-micro usb cable can be used with the dell power adapter that came with my venue 11 pro 5130?  I can get one off monoprice for pittance, but I don't want to damage either the adapter or the computer.

Thanks so much for any help!

    I've had no issue using a 10' USB cable with the Dell power adapter for my DV8P.

    Using some cheap china knockoff USB extention on mine for over a year, no problems what so ever.

    That cord is silly short.  Who designed that thing in the first place.  I also went to Monoprice and ordered a cable for less than $1.  Problem with Monoprice is the shipping charges. Always more than what i buy.

    A great option: from Amazon.com, a Blackberry Playbook charger (or pick up more than 1, at the price)--less than a whopping $3.50 shipped, high quality, has foldable prongs, has a 6'5" attached cable, and works perfectly with the DV8P. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004OZMWUS/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=
