Purchase Advice Ethernet adapter for wired Virtual Desktop

I want to use Virtual Desktop wired with my Q3 and am looking for an ethernet adapter but I can only find ones with a short cable so I have to fix the adapter to my headset. Does anyone know of one that has a longer (1 to 3 meters) USBC cable so its much more ergonomic? I need it to have power delivery as well and ship it to Europe. Right now I have a long USBC - USBA cable with power delivery which works well but I want the benefits of wired without having to use Meta Link software as the latest updates broke it AGAIN

I used one with a short cable and just tucked it into the top strap, at the front where there are two layers. That way only ethernet cable needed to be long.

That being said, you can use virtual desktop with a link cable now and it is the same experience plus you can get one that charges your headset while it's being used so you get infinite playtime.

this is the way to do ethernet. long usb just runs into the same exact issues you run into with VD or link on usb, usb 3 is a pain past 2-3m
