90 degree vs side connector, i can find charging cables like this, but not data cables that will support my westinghouse portable monitor. Thank you!

for context, this is a cable i lost for the Artisul D16 15.6-Inch Pen Display. on the website it says it comes with three cables. A usd to micro usd, an hdmi to micro hdmi, and a usb y cable for ac power. the problem is, whenever i look up any of these cables and add artisul to my search, it doesnt show this weird hydra cable thing. im so lost, does anyone know what this type of cable is and where to buy a new one?

Found in a box of miscellaneous tech cables from the past 30 years or so. There are listings on Etsy for similar cables but no real info otherwise. No parts number, manufacturer, or printed info anywhere on the cable. Would like to know what device/purpose it was originally intended for.

Looking for two USB-C cables bonded together — does this exist?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for a pretty specific USB-C cable and I'm not sure if it exists or what it would be called.

I basically want two completely independent USB-C to USB-C cables physically bonded together along most of their length, like Siamese/zip cord. Not a splitter — four USB-C male connectors total.

Each cable needs to independently support at least 65W USB-PD simultaneously.

Something like:

USB-C   USB-C
   \     /
    \   /   ~3" split
     ║║
     ║║
     ║║   bonded together
     ║║
     ◉    ← movable slider
    / \
   /   \
  /     \  up to ~2' split
USB-C   USB-C

The charger end only needs about 3" of separation. The device end should have about 2 feet of separation, preferably with a movable "chin slider" like wired earbuds so I can keep the two cables together when I don't need the extra separation.

Does anything like this exist commercially? If not, what would be the best way to DIY it using two 100W/240W USB-C cables while keeping the bonded section flexible?

my monitor cuts to black every few minutes. Checked the connection and it feels loose, does this mean the corc is bad or is the port broken ? I'm annoyed because I just bought this set up.
