Hello,

I recently ordered a small form factor computer- the Intel NUC Kit NUC7i5BNH.
I need to connect it to my 4K Phillips monitor, which only supports 4K at 60Hz through it's Display Port (the HDMI on the monitor is restricted to 4K at 30Hz unfortunately).

In the description of the NUC it sais:
"1x Thunderbolt™ 3 port (40 Gbps, with USB 3.1 Gen 2 10 Gbps and DisplayPort* 1.2) via USB-C"

So now I need to buy an additional cable USB-C to Display Port which supports 4K at 60Hz.
As I can see there's plenty of such cables online but lots of them don't specify whether the 4K is be 60 or 30 Hz.
Is there any way for me to filter the results? In other words- do these types of cables have various standards describing whether or not they can do 60Hz?
Like HDMI for example- ver. 2.0 can do 60Hz, but 1.2 can only do 30Hz...

Or is it a case where the cable doesn't matter at all?

Sorry about the silly question and thanks for any help.
