newb question: just got me a dell wd19tbs dock, seeking advice on proper cabling to use for which devices. - eviltoast

Tbf, all of the usb c cable standards are quite confusing. As of now, I believe my only thunderbolt device is my laptop and the main cable will handle that.

I have a galaxy 21 ultra but have no clue what is the best and proper cable for such phone? Or should phones be charged separately with its own cable and Gan chsrger or whatever?

I will be using the usb a ports, just not sure what model to be looking into, like standard wise.

I dont know what display port is yet and I’ll surely dive into it down the road. Im more concerned with which standard HDMI cable to get. I think the spec is 2.0b?? I dont really know

Ethernet port is ethernet port, not sure if brand of cat6 cable matters? No idea

I even have spare thunderbolt ports, how can I best put those to use? I just dont quite know the ins and outs of cable standards and their uses and capabilities

I feel like a dunce, but I needed to get my port usage off my laptop and onto a dock. Been having very annoying usb c port issues on my dell xps13 9310 laptop. So I have all these ports with different standards and dont really know what I need cable wise for proper use and performance of devices smh hope you all can help

    Thanks a lot! As of now I dont think I plan for extra usb features, more so interested in the Samsung super fast charging. I believe thats a 65 watt cable? And as far a flash drives go, upgrade to the 3.1?
