Can I connect a monitor with a docking station to my desktop PC via USB Type-C?



For a long time I could not find a clear answer to the question on the Internet - is it possible to connect the docking station via USB-C to a regular desktop PC if it has a USB Type-C port, and switch my entire setup between a laptop and a PC by switching one cable ... If you are also interested in this issue, welcome under cat.



TL; DR: OK, but may require an optional DisplayPort Desktop Cable. A short list of what you need is at the end of the article.



Since I don't quite remember what I found and in what order, all links will be attached at the end of the article.



NB: I am not a hardware engineer or an expert on all these protocols. I'm just a hobbyist who wanted to connect my PC to a docking station via USB Type-C.
