Recommendations for usb-c to lightning charger and/ cable for ipad Mini 4 and iphone 7

Does anyone out there have an recommendations for a good quality usb-c to lightning charger and cable for an ipad mini 4 and an iphone 7? Wouldn't mind a dual charger for regular usb to lightning.

I'd like one that's 10ft if possible, or can I buy a cable extension cable that can attach the lightning end of the cable? Don't hesitate to ask questions of you need any clarity.

Anker or Belkin chargers, cables and adapters would be my first choice you can get any combination of connection from them although 10ft is going to be a bit of "stretch" (sorry for the pun).
Other brands like Nomad and Caudabe are good quality and even UGREEN is okay at the cheaper end of the market.
What I usually do is check the manufacturer's web sites for options then search for what I choose from local retail outlets or online shopping sites, just make sure they're genuine.

Actually I stand corrected, I turned up this site which displays some very long lightening bolt connection cables;

I'll second Rod's suggestion of Anker or Belkin gear. They can be almost as pricey as Apple's gear but tend to hold up well. I've bought cheaper chargers and cables and regretted it. Nothing will scare you more than the distinctive smell of burning electric gear coming from the cheap iPad charger you bought as a backup. Lol.

I tend to look for cables that are MiFi certified. Cables that aren't sometimes charge devices fine but don't pass data correctly or vice versa.

I agree about Anker, I usually buy from OWC, and yes extension USB-C/TB4 cables are available different lengths. They have USB-C connectors (one male, one female) at the ends of the cable.

Be aware, longer length cables affect data and charge speed capabilities as well.

Yep, there’s a reason why most are no more than about 3ft. apart from being unweildy.
