There is a reason for USB-C extensions not to be part of the standard. They can be bothersome in the best case and dangerous in the worst.

I have this cable: https://www.spigen.com/products/arcwire-usb-c-to-usb-c-cable-pb2202

It's 2 meters long, 240 watts and supports Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 (40 gbps).

I couldn't test the 240 watts charging as I don't have any device pulling more than 100 watts, but the Thunderbolt 4 part definitely works.

Apple sells a 3 meter Thunderbolt 4 cable (albeit limited to 100 watts of power) that isn't optical either (I think there's some special circuitry in the plugs though).

You're right. Those are active cables which I forgot to mention earlier that have special circuits that amplify signals, but are also a lot more expensive as a result.

Will I get banned if I don't call this person Margot Robbie, because they claim to identify as a famous Hollywood actress?

$90 for a cable and it’s not even braided is wild to me.

I prefer not braided. Both for cables and hair. More of a ponytail kinda guy myself.
