short charging cable / compact charger

Hi all.

Anyone know why all the standard cables that connect the chargers to AC power are 1.5m ~ 5ft? I can't seem to find anything shorter. It seems like this is true also for video game consoles etc. Obviously power issues should put a MAX length on the cable, not a min. The cables are all rated at 7 amp (120V).

Also: anyone have any experience with the Pearstone compact chargers? I just checked today at Target, and the Lowepro Edit 110 will perfectly fit NX100+20-50mm+30mm+sef20a+charger+cable. Very snug with the charger and charging cable, but it'll go. But it would be nice to dispense with the charging cable, or at least find a shorter one.

The iTEKIRO looks cheap: http://www.amazon.com/iTEKIRO-AC-Samsung-BP1030-EV-NX200ZBSBUS/dp/B006VRPP3I/ref=sr_1_fkmr3_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340497915&sr=8-1-fkmr3&keywords=bp+1030+ed+bp1030+charger+for+samsung+nx200+ev+nx200zbsbus+nx+200+evnx200zbsbus
, so I obviously wonder about the quality.
