Extension Cable for WD Passport

I have a WD Passport GO Portable that has a very short USB cable.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to use a USB extension cable and if so, any recommendations?

Is it also possible to convert the USB 3.0 connection to a USB-C connection and will the hard drive continue to function?

many thanks

The reason for the short cable is due to power losses with longer ones

Not many USB disks with USB-C yet but that will change soon

I need a cable to connect the WD Passport (USB-A) to an iMac with USB-C. Can someone recommend best cable/adapter that minimises power loss (although not a big issue).
