I found something (can't find it now, of course) that said it *should*
work with the right cable, but had just hit on the same idea, of using a
Thunderbolt cable to test (I have a 10 cm one lol), and that the apple
ones are too low-spec.
But I also tested with the Macbook Pro and that cable did nothing so
it's not specific to the Air. If it works with the thunderbolt one, I
need to work out whether to trade in the Air for a newer one and then
get the expensive cable...
I have a massive jumble of old obsolete USB cables (micro, mini, blah
blah) and have – until now – been thinking how good it is to have
only one connector. At least with the old jumble, I could tell what it
could and couldn't do (mostly) by looking at it, sigh...

Just looking at the 2020 iPad Air specs suggest that usb-c output to
monitors with usb-c inputs doesn’t work regardless of cable. You
might try a thunderbolt cable but seems an expensive trial?

I have been looking at these and it was my initial thought but my bag
is so full of cycling bits and pieces, computer cables, spare this,
passkey for that, something for this, that I would really like to
have something that doesn't catch on everything else when I try to
pull it out of the tangled mess;) It's kind of ridiculous how many
small items with impossible numbers of corners I seem to need just to
function...
Thanks to Paul for the tip, I have the same sinking feeling about
reading a whole book;)
I can't actually diagnose what the issue is as what I have should
work. I'll see if I can find another USBC cable I can borrow to
narrow it down. It's not the expense of these thnigs, luckily, it's a
kind of being appalled at how much junk I seem to end up with even
only buying 'vital' cables/adaptors etc. I already have USBc to VGA
but the monitors don't have VGA (I do have VGA to DVI and DVI to HDMI
for a fabulous chain but I refer you back to my bag problem lol).
Cheers,
Jason
