Hmm, it seems Thunderbolt-DisplayPort cables are pretty rare. Instead of
searching for those I suggest looking for adapters that are explicitly
for "Thunderbolt" and not "USB".

USB 3.0 has a bandwidth of 5 Gbps
USB 3.1 has a bandwidth of 10 Gbps

4K at 60Hz however requires 3840x2160x4 (33177600) bytes per frame,
265420800 bits per frame, or ~16 Gbps. USB never had a chance and at
best would give you only 30Hz.

So make sure your adapters are "Thunderbolt" and not "USB". Thunderbolt
3 in your laptop supports 40 Gbps which is enough for 4K at 120Hz.
