  • A Thunderbolt cable will handle the required bandwidth from the dock to the laptop.

    Your phone, do you expect to pass data via the phone and your laptop (eg photos/videos?) If you do then a USB 3.2 10 Gbps cable would be the most you would need (€25), costs may stear you towards a simple charging cable something around 60w (€10) would be ample BUT you phone may not fast charge due to Samsung’s charging preference.

    HDMI 2.1 would be ample for a your monitor (4k resolution at 120fps) and the cost difference between this (€13) and 2.0 (€10) is minimal nowerdays

    Ethernet is easy, CAT5e in the colour/length of your choice would supply the potential max 2.5gb Ethernet port you have (€8 for 10meters). Higher the CAT rating the more costly the cable.

    Additional Thunderbolt ports would be best used/reserved for high-speed external storage or even a gaming GPU.

    The fact your asking about these items shows you should be pretty much covered for the next few years of ‘fitire proofing’
