I think extension cord might do.
Do this.

Theres a female power cord by which you connect your VDU to the UPS.
Instead of connecting it to the UPS connect it to the extension cord and then connect the ex. cord to the UPS. This will do the trick.8)

Hahaha.... LOlz :D
Quite a slapstick reply ;)

No offence meant, actually one another user told me about this reply so i came to check it :)

BTW as for ur problem, u can get a cable with male-female end to extend it but as far as i remember, i think a limitation to this link exists and maybe stretching to 20 feets may cause noise in signals and maybe distortion in picture !
