Make sure you’re using a single jack in the adapter that supports the maximum 45W at which the Steam Deck can charge. My Imuto 65W compact wall charger works well, and is small enough to fit in the back recess of my stock case.
DO NOT cheap out on your cables. Not only does yours probably not support the power you’re trying to deliver, but it’ll probably fail quickly. I have found success with my 2m UGREEN 60W right angle cable.
What he means is that these multi-device chargers can’t supply the power they say to everything all at once. Additionally, many of them have specific ports that supply different wattages when more than one port is used, and some even have ports that just don’t supply as much power as others.
Yours specifically has these quirks, as you can see here. So ensure you’re always using the port farthest away from the USB-A connector when charging your steam deck.
That cable is rated properly for your use, though the one from your OP is also properly rated, and very broadly the stuff you get from Amazon from a reputable brand is going to be fine. The dock is probably fine, as well.
The monitor shouldn’t affect anything regarding charging, as long as you pay attention to the ports you use, as detailed in my other comment.
The cable from your main post is probably fine - cheapest, shitty cables won’t have e-marker chips (yours says it has one).
The issue is most likely with the port on the charger, like the other guy said. You should test all type-C ports, because sometimes the manufacturer lies and only one of them actually provides full power.
You have too look at the voltage as well as the wattage. For example the MacBook Pro usb-c brick can’t charge the steam deck because the voltage scale differs. Steam deck needs 15v and even though the MacBook brick can output 20v when it scales down for the Steam Deck it has to go to 9v because it doesn’t support 15v.

The cable is from Temu? Lol, it’s the cable. Case solved.
