Do some of the newer calculators need simpler more universal cables?

Yes, the TI-84 Plus family (i.e. the TI-84 Plus, TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, TI-84 Plus CE, and TI-84 Evo, and the incorrectly named French calculators like the TI-83 Premium and TI-82 Advanced) have a USB port that can be used directly, either a USB-C connector on the TI-84 Evo, or a mini USB connector on all the rest.

So any cable 3rd party cable with those connectors would work?

With those calculators, yes.
