E232 minidisplay port

[wjb09]

What is the purpose of the mini displayport to usb cable provided with the E232 monitor?  Will it serve as a display connection in place of other cables?  The input selections on the E232 are only showing Displayport, HDMI, and VGA.

Which cable you are asking for ?  Is it a miniDisplayport to USB-C ?

It is not a USB-C.  The cable is a mini displayport on one end and a USB-A on the other.  There is a connection area on the monitor for the mini displayport.  Do you know what the purpose is for?
