240W over USB??? It seems a bit pushing it! How many amps (and voltage?) do you need to push to make it happen?
Many solid reviews, but still makes me uneasy with so much power...

240W USB C are now standard. It's been this way for a couple or more years. I won't be surprised if they come up 400W C cable in the coming years.
With that said UGreen have the best 240W cable.

If you google about passive USB-C cable and 40Gbps, you will find all websites that talk about it mentioned max length is around 2-3 feet max length for passive cable to get 40Gbps (which is USB 3.2 or USB4) speed.
The maximum cable length for these versions is generally kept at 0.8 meter (approximately 2.6 feet) to maintain signal quality and reliability. But some companies tried to push that to 3.3 feet which may or may not affect the signal quality and reliability.

I see, thsts probably why all USB C docks with hdmi and other ports also have such short leads.

It's been part of the spec for several years now. Cables have come out with the USB PD 3.1 EPR spec for 140-240w for almost 5 years. The 240w chargers only recently started coming out though, and there's only one laptop that can fully use it (Framework). It's safe.
The only downside to getting 240w cables is that they're thicker and generally more rigid. Even moreso when it has USB 4 40gbps data rates.
If you want to pay even less than this, Cheap and Cheerful keeps a list of cables he's tested from Aliexpress, I have some. You forgo formal USB-IF certification on the cheapest ones but they've largely worked well for me. Hell, even the certified ones have weird issues with different USB 4 and Thunderbolt controllers since USB-IF has made such a mess of things. https://cheerful.cheap/video/usb-...-review-2/

It's 48v at 5amps. You generally only need to increase the cable gauge if you up the amps. As @az060693 stated, most likely your devices can't use the 240W. I only have one laptop that can do 100W. Most everything else we own is 45-60W. These will be thicker because they are USB 3 (8 wire vs 4 wire). You generally use these for USB 3.x devices (e.g. external SSD, external monitors, USB 3 webcams, high speed data transfer on USB 3 phones).
