ZIYUETEK20 ft USB 3.0 Extension Cable with USB C Adapter, Nylon Braided, for Webcam, Camera, Phone, Mouse, Keyboard, Printer and More

Nothing

If you need to connect a USB C device, but only have a USB A socket, this is your connector. Unlike short adapters, this cable maintains contact and doesn't cause too much strain on the USB A socket. The cable is thick and sturdy.

made android auto and apple carplay work on a car head unit that was being fussy with the stock cable

It's rated to go 10Gbps (Or 1250 MB/s) and it barely gets to 100Mbps (12.5 MB/s) with any cable I use. I take this cable out of the equation and speeds go up. But it does the job.
