connecting external display to MacBook

No Signal on my external display (Lepow) by using USB-C to USB-C on my MacBook Pro with macOS Big Sur. I followed an advice to detect display on the system preference, but it did not work.

Any idea how to fix this?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

The cable that shipped in the box with your Mac is a Charge-ONLY cable. It has NO data conductors except USB-2, suitable for at most a keyboard or Mouse connection.


If I were King, I would color them all bright orange and include a warning tag that this is not a real data cable.
