it's a fiber optic cable to handle data with an additional copper cable to deliver power, which makes the cable less likely to wear out and far better at sending data back and forth at long distances
similar cables are slightly cheaper but all usbc fiber optic cables are just pretty damn expensive in general, you can get an all-copper cable at a significantly reduced price but the longer they are the more likely it's going to have trouble sending data back and forth and will also wear out depending on the quality
you can also opt for just going all-wireless if your router happens to be in your room and it isn't some cheap shit
