Does anybody know, which cables are supported?
I mean, which standard should be at least supported by the cable (e.g. USB4.0 or is USB3.1 already enough)?
Within M1, Monterey or the MacBook Pro's at all, what is the recommended length of the cable to support Power Delivery (PD) and Video-Transmission?
Technical Details on Apple-Page (https://support.apple.com/kb/SP824) shows only the connection possibility, but not the compatibility:
Charging and Expansion
Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports with support for:
Charging
DisplayPort
Thunderbolt 3 (up to 40Gb/s)
USB 4 (up to 40Gb/s)
USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gb/s)
Headphone
In my case, the original cable from the monitor supplier (HP) is approx. 1,80cm and it's sticker says USB3.1 ..
on my MacBook Pro M1 2020 with Big Sur on it, everything running fine
on my MacBook Pro M1 2020 with Monterey on it, only mouse and keyboard functioning
Using the 30cm cable (delivered within Apple's Blackmagic eGPU .. Sticked with TB3 - Thunderbolt 3, unfortunately no further details of supported protocols) ..
on my MacBook Pro M1 2020 with Monterey on it, everything running fine
Now I have ordered an Thunderbolt 3, USB4.0, length: 1,20cm cable and will try out, when arrived.
