Looking for a dock with the same configuration as this, but with NO pre attached cables.

Hello. I am looking for a dock that has at least one usb-c 3.1 port, one usb-c for power delivery, one hdmi, and one usb-A. The two important things to me is that it does not have a pre attached cable, and is portable. I've been searching and cannot seem to find one similar to this one but with no cable pre attached - https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-MacB...+adapter&qid=1627682902&s=electronics&sr=1-24

The reason for this is that when I am laying in bed, it is easier to have everything plugged into the dongle on the night table, and have one long cord going to the Macbook on my lap.

Thank you much for any help in advance.

Why not just use that one with a usb c extension cable? Seems like it would accomplish the same result.

I considered that but I am worried about reliability / intermittent connection.

You could look for a USBc "extension cable" like this:

Faracent USB C Extension Cable (3.3Ft/1m/10Gbps), USB 3.2 Type C 3.1 Male to Female Extension Charging & Sync for iPhone 16 15 Pixel PSVR2 MacBook Air M2 Pro/New iPad Dell XPS Surface Book and More

Faracent USB C Extension Cable (3.3Ft/1m/10Gbps), USB 3.2 Type C 3.1 Male to Female Extension Charging & Sync for iPhone 16 15 Pixel PSVR2 MacBook Air M2 Pro/New iPad Dell XPS Surface Book and More

www.amazon.com

I think you'd need either the 6' or 10' version.

It seems like nearly all the small USBc hubs like that have a fixed connecting cable (rather than a USBc port into which you plug a cable of your own choosing...

Okay thank you. Would you trust this if you were working on something that was streaming data from an external drive?
