I've been waiting for this: MagSafe 3 adapters
Since Macbooks added MagSafe 3 in 2021 I've been waiting on the day that a 3rd party company would make a shorter cable so I wouldn't need to deal with managing a 2 meter cable when using a laptop kit on sticks. In the past year, 3rd party options did start to appear and come in different colors like this one but they were all still 2 meters long. Obviously this was not what I was hoping for.
Well now there's an option! USB-C to MagSafe 3 adapters are available in 3 options. These allow you to use the cable of your choice to make a custom length and orientation for your setup.
It will definitely be nice to no longer have to deal with the 2 meter cable in some scenarios. Additionally, as well as add the versatility to always have a MagSafe 3 cable available via this adapter.

The three options shown above are:
I went with the horizontal version for my setup. It will allow me to route the cable out of the back of my laptop plate and use a short 1.5ft 240W cable which will be the perfect length. If you're willing to wait a bit longer you can also get them from AliExpress.
It's nice that they are just an extension of the MagSafe 3 connection and have proper pass through of data and power as shown in System Information when connected to the Apple 140W USB-C charger. This should help east the minds the people that fear plugging in anything to there computer that isn't made by Apple (which is always silly)
