The Apple Thunderbolt 3 Pro Cable (2 m) is one of the only cables that can support everything usb-c over such a long distance [1]. But that costs 129$, which just wouldn't work for smartphone charging for which cables (usb-c 2.0 & 60w, the least you can do while still being spec-compliant) cost 7$. I think I haven't seen such a clear & easy to grasp demonstration of tradeoffs anywhere else.

[1] For the longest time, this was the only cable to do it all. I think more are available now, but they're still very much non-affordable.
