Can't find the USB-C dock I need -- with a long cable

Hi all, I'm struggling to find a USB-C dock for my Macbook. What I need is a device that has:

HDMI
USB-A port (one will do, more is nice)
Pass-through power
and a cable longer than a few inches!

So many of these devices are available that have tiny USB-C cables built in, so the hub (and hence all the other cables) have to be right next to the machine. What I need is one with either a cable at least a couple of feet long, or with a port instead so I can use a USB-C to USB-C cable.

That way, I can mount and connect the hub behind a partition, and have only the USB-C cable coming out, which I plug into the MacBook to get power and HDMI, and perhaps a couple of other ports too, but all cabled out of sight.

Is there such a device? Am I not looking hard enough?

This device seems to meet your criteria, but may also be more expensive than what you had in mind.

That looks like the one! Thanks very much for your help
