I have a monitor with all the ports listed like this:

monitor ports

My laptop ports are in the photos below:

enter image description here

On my laptop, Port 1 is USB 3.2 Gen 1 port with PowerShare Port 2 is Thunderbolt 4.0 port with Power Delivery and DisplayPort Port 3 is microSD-card slot Port 4 is USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DisplayPort 1.4 and PowerDeliver Port 5 is HDMI 2.1 port

My current setting is I have plugged in all my receivers (mouse, keyboard, controller) to the monitor usb ports, and used a USB upstream cable to connect monitor port 8 and laptop port 1, so all the receivers work for the laptop. I'm also using another HDMI cable to connect monitor port 9 to laptop port 5.

Is there any kind of USB C cable that combine the two cables together?

  • No need, the answer is there isn't. There are USB-C cables for that purpose but NOT for your monitor which doesn't have USB-C ports. It should be obvious.

  • @ChanganAuto No, it's not obvious at all. Firstly we're power users and our knowledge (and sense of what's obvious) isn't representative of an average user. Secondly, these things actually exist - see my answer.

  • @gronostaj A docking station isn't a cable ;) The OP asked for a cable and those also exist, USB-C on both ends, for compatible monitors that then may or may not include USB ports and even other devices like we find in USB-C docking stations. With one as you suggest the OP would be using the exact same cables plus the docking station itself with a daisychained USB hub. A pure waste of money if bought for this purpose only.

You're looking for a USB-C docking station. Something like these (not a recommendation - first link from Google). Simplest models have an HDMI port + a couple USBs. More advanced ones can also charge the laptop. Before buying one make sure supported display modes fit your needs (eg. some can't drive 4K displays at 60 fps).
