I'm using an Amazon Basics 9' C to C cable and I get quick charging with it.

I got 3 of the Amazon basics 9ft chargers, listed on the 2nd link, plus 3 of this block:

They work really well as far as I can tell, not the cheapest option though.
This supports PD up to 3A at ~20V so it'll work great. Amazon
Which have you tried? All C-to-C cables are able to do 3A (up to 60W) USB-PD charging. Or are you looking for A-to-C cables? In which case, there are no USB compliant cables that will charge faster than 1.5A (7.5W).
If you're looking for C-to-C cables, AmazonBasics have 9ft ones that are certified, and 10ft ones that look fancier, but it's not clear if they're certified (no mention in description and can't find them on https://www.usb.org/products). I'd recommend getting the certified ones. I got one and they work just fine.
I recommend you buy the AmazonBasics USB C to C cables. These are very highly recommended by Benson and cheaper than the Powerline II.
The AmazonBasics cables are also IF certified. The only downside is that they are USB 2.0. But if you are not doing any data transfer, you should be fine.

Cheers!
Edit: Here is a snippet of Benson review. It is his conclusion statement for the review:
"AmazonBasics USB-C to USB-C 2.0 cables are excellent charging and high-speed data (up to 480mbps) cables. My testing shows they can handle high voltage high power charging up to 60W easily. I am pleased to see that Amazon is jumping into the ecosystem with a compliant and good offering. This is a no brainer for folks with Nexus 5X/6P, Pixel, Pixel XL, Chromebook, or MacBook users looking for an affordable spare cable at various lengths."
I just got this one last week... like you I was looking for a longer cable (most I’ve seen were 6ft).. I would have preferred braided but I’ve had other amazon cables last a long time of daily use, which made it a little easier to order.
