Hi @deewee 

It's a standard IEC C7 (figure of eight) cable.

Readily available at longer lengths from most electrical retailers or online.

Then that's not a Q Mini box, it's a v2 main box.

The other side of the external PSU can be extended as described above because the transformer takes an IEC C7 plug.
