What USB C is this?

[marine1]

Hey guys
I have tried a few USB C - USB C to power and send data from my phone to my portable screen and none work except the one that came with the screen, Viewsonic.
What kind or type of USB C is it that it sends power and signal and not just power?
There isnt anything written on it but would like to get a few more.

Thanks

Probably just USB-C with data, i.e. not just power.

Ok, thanks, is there a particular type or name ?
Appreciate it

I've noticed some cables only do power and not data, like the ones that come free with battery banks.

Not an exact science that I have looked into. The cheapies are usually kak.
I'm confident this one will work.

Just take note of this though on that cable I posted

Thanks guys

Yeah not all USB-C's are equal

The Thunderbolt3+DP Alt mode capable ones usually have the bandwidth available for proper display/data transfer

I imagine it's a bit like HDMI. They might look thr same but yoh.... you quickly learn that goedkoop is duurkoop

My cheaaap USB-C I bought to test something ended up sending about 300ma of current,so it's not even useful as a pretty charging cable
