Usb can't handle throughput over the same distances as ethernet. 3 meters is generally the stated max for high speed usb-c transfer, which can be increased a bit with some active cables. But the spec also doesn't officially allow for extension cables.

The maximum length for a USB 3.2 Gen 2 cable is one meter. Anything more is not a rated 3.2 Gen 2 cable (amazon is notorious for selling 3m "3.2. Gen 2" cables)

USB4 is 0.8M

USB 3.2 Gen 2

Correction: it's now officially USB 10Gbit/s.
