Should I unplug my USB-C to HDMI cable from my MacBook Pro while I’m not using it? Cuz The HDMI port still remains hot even when I put my MacBook to sleep and turn off the external monitor power while leaving the cable plugged with the monitor and MacBook. Just not sure if it’s safe. The cable I’m using is Anker A8730 6ft Type C to HDMI Adapter Cable 4K 60Hz [Thunderbolt 3 Compatible].
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6
