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?
I believe that Margo Robbie identifies as esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress/esteemed Academy Award nominated character actresses.
$90 for a cable and it’s not even braided is wild to me.
Braiding doesn’t really increase the cable quality per se though…?
It’s $90 because it has fairly thick wiring and as Margot said is likely an active cable (with a chip in the plug). It’s actually fairly cheap considering the feature set.
A shielded braid reduce the noise on the data lines and gives a better signal integrity. So it doesn’t increase the quality of the material, but increase the signal to noise ratio (SNR), which is very important for data transmission.
Braided cables are just higher quality imo because they can’t tangle easily and take a lot of effort to bend.
I prefer not braided. Both for cables and hair. More of a ponytail kinda guy myself.
