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.

Seems negligent to not include extension cables in the spec. Lots of hubs have too short of cables, or one needs to expose a plug somewhere other than where the PC is.

You just get a longer USB-C cable.

I have a 240W extension from AliExpress, used with a 120W power for my laptop, it never gets hot even when using 100+W
