5. Cable Recommendations

If you need to purchase new cables from the market here are some suggestions that work well for   MIDI USB and Touchscreen Data, for Macs and Windows PCs. 

 Please note that for the display we recommend using USB-C 1m cables and if more length is needed use a powered docking station or powered USB hub. Using cables of more than 1m in length will create more resistance and put more stress on your computer's USB port. For HDMI and MIDI USB-C you can use longer cables, 2m or 3m.
