I use this F to F USB-C coupler with the Fairikabe HDMI cable and the Airs.
Basically you need a USB-C 3.1 gen 2 or better Coupler that states it supports video and charging (usually 4k@60Hz or better and 100w PD or better)
A USB-C Thunderbolt 3 or 4 coupler will work too.
Be careful with just "USB 4" - it has to state the above.
@kafkajeffjeff https://www.amazon.com/AuviPal-Extender-Compatible-Thunderbolt-Transfer/dp/B0B8X7R7PT/ will connect your USB-C cables as Donald suggests. I use it with my Airs cable to connect longer USB-C cables.
