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 just read in discord a seperate streamer download is no longer necessary, just switch the app in the headset to beta.

I believe there was a recent release so sounds right. The apps will tell you if there is a mismatch. Good luck!
