You need a USBC to HDMI cable or HDMI cable with a separate USBC adapter.

I've got a Surface Book that only has USB and USBC ports. I'm trying to connect it to an Acer monitor using the following chain of cables:
Surface
USBC to Mini Displayport
Mini Displayport to HDMI
Monitor
The Surface doesn't detect the monitor. I've tested the MiniD to HDMI with a different laptop and that works fine. Is there a way that I can establish whether the issue is the USBC to MiniD cable or a config problem on the tablet/monitor? My other USBC device is a Google Nexus 5X.
Obviously getting a replacement cable will be tricky at the moment, so I'd like to explore all config-related issues first.
