just be cautious that you buy a USB-C DATA cable.

There are charge-only cables available, and they may be longer or have other appealing characteristics. But Charge-ONLY cables do not offer high speed data transfer. In some cases, NO data transfer.

USB 4 uses the same type of connector as USB-C, so all you need is a USB-C cable.
