80mm VFD Spindle Power Cord Length

Can someone with the 80mm spindle tell me the length of the power cord that comes with the kit? I’m trying to figure out whether I need to order a longer cord, move my outlet, move my machine table, and so on. Thanks!

Mine is 5.5 ft.

more characters so it will post

I mounted my VFD under the machine, and stooping down and reaching under got old real quick. I got a the below switch and wired in a an addition 10’. My cord is 14-3. The switch is mounted on the back right leg about a foot down. My VFD is mounted to the inside of the left leg.

It will be cheaper than moving an outlet, and well within limits of 14-3 wire at 220v - 15A, which is 50 ft according to the first link below. As always hire a qualified electrician if you have concerns.
