The DP 1.2 port probably will not support the full 144Hz refresh rate of your monitor, you will need to use the DP 1.4 ports (either with a USB-C to USB-C or USB to DP cable) if you want the proper refresh rate. But before you jump up with joy, remember that Thunderbolt 4 supports only 40Gbps as opposed to HDMI v.2.1’s 48Gbps. This cable is half the price of the one you linked and has longer length options.ĭo note that your monitor has 1x DP1.4 (DP connector) + 1x USB-C w/ DP1.4 Alt Mode and 1x USB-C w/ DP 1.2 Alt Mode port. ![]() Just make sure you are not buying a USB 2.0 cable as they do not have the conductors required for DP Alt Mode even though they use the USB-C connector. If you only need to connect to one monitor then a USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to DP cable will work just fine, it's much cheaper and you can get longer cables for it vs. However, Thunderbolt 3/4 is only needed for hubs that provide 3x 4k60 or 2x4k60+USB3. ![]() So you can get USB-C to USB-C cables that support any of these - USB 3.1, USB 4, Thunderbolt 4 or most Thunderbolt 3 (passive) cables. Thunderbolt 4 is USB 4 and guarantees at least two displays per port. ![]()
