Getting the right cable
Two cables with the same plug can do very different jobs. Match the standard, not just the shape.
Video standards
For 4K at 120 Hz or high-refresh 1440p, use an Ultra High Speed HDMI (2.1) or a DisplayPort 1.4 cable. Older cables cap the refresh rate without any warning.
Charging cables
USB-C cables are rated by wattage. Many carry 60 W; laptops that draw more need a 100 W or 240 W e-marked cable.
Length
Long passive video and USB cables lose signal. Ethernet is the exception: Cat6 runs reliably up to 100 m.
Common questions about cables & adapters
Why is my USB-C cable charging slowly?
The cable may be rated for 60 W or less, or only support USB 2.0. Laptops and fast-charging phones need a cable rated for the charger's full wattage.
Do I need an expensive HDMI cable for 4K?
No. A certified High Speed HDMI cable handles 4K at 60 Hz. Only 4K at 120 Hz or 8K needs an Ultra High Speed (HDMI 2.1) cable.
