USB-C cable for power delivery for Canon R5C

Hello. I have an R5C and a powerbank which i tested with the cable that came with the camera and everything works great apart from the fact the cable is very short and I want to get a longer one!

I tried a random cable I had at home and that only seemed to be able to recharge the battery and was not able to power the camera (to be specific this is to record 8k at 60fps). Does anyone know exactly what specification of cable is required that will allow the camera to be powered by an external source?

Any PD 3.0 (60W) cable should handle that.
