Which specific cables longer than 2m (ideally 3m or 10ft) work well to replace the 1m usb-c to usb-c cable that came with the monitor? I've been doing research on specific models and still confused by the amount of information out there. My understanding is that the cable has to support USB3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps), 3A (12V? to get 60W, I've only seen 3A/5V, so 15W, and they are for phones).

One example of this is:

But spec says it's again only 5V, 3A. Not sure if it's sufficient to charge my 13" MBP under load.
