The top and bottom of this topic is this.
The IEEE dont rate USB 3, 3.1 or 3.2 for more than 2metres and any company selling you any cable that says that they can achieve this are going way outside the engineering standards.
Even so called "active" extenders are bending the edges of the process.
If its longer than 2m you should be prepared for it to fall back to USB 2 speeds.
What you should be doing is getting the computer MUCH closer to the mount and either use it there or use wifi or LAN networking to connect to that computer if you want to control from further away.
I have a nearly lag free system when at home as my PC is mounted on my dovetail bar and I can get nearly the same experience anywhere in the world I can get more than 20Mbit bandwidth using Microsoft RDP. I can use any computer that has an MS RDP client installed and get the exact same experience, whether it be from home/work/internet cafe in Oslo.
The BEST USB cable for your job is the shortest you can possibly use.
Cat 5e/6/6a/7 cables are all designed to carry at least 1000mbit at distances an order of magnitude higher than USB.
