USB-C Triple Monitor Multiport Adapter
Product ID: 117B-USBC-MULTIPORT
Product Overview
This USB Type-C Multiport Adapter utilizes DP 1.4 Alt Mode and MST from a host computer to support up to three DisplayPort and/or HDMI displays. The USB-C dock provides 2x HDMI, 2x DisplayPort, a 3-port USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (10Gbps) Hub, and a Gigabit Ethernet port, all through one connection to a laptop's USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 port. It offers advanced charging through a dedicated USB-C Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 pass-through port via an integrated 2 ft. (60 cm) USB-C host cable. The adapter features driverless installation for hassle-free setup.
The adapter enhances video connectivity with support for up to three external monitors with resolutions up to 1x 4K (3840 x 2160p) at 60Hz and 2x 4K (3840 x 2160p) at 30Hz (Intel 11th Gen or later with DSC required for maximum performance). It features two HDMI 2.0b ports and two DisplayPort 1.4 ports, providing the ability to choose a combination of video output types. The adapter utilizes the integrated or discrete GPU capabilities of the connected laptop to enable high performance graphics with minimal CPU usage. Video performance, such as resolution and refresh rate across all three monitors, is dependent upon the host computer's graphics processing unit (GPU). A source device with support for DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC and MST is required to achieve maximum performance. Please review the specifications of the host computer and the monitors to determine expected video performance.
The USB-C to USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) hub features three USB-A ports for connecting USB HID devices and/or peripherals (e.g., storage devices). The mini docking station features a built-in 2 ft. (60 cm) USB-C host cable with a high-quality TPE jacket and strain relief, for enhanced durability and longevity. The adapter housing features a built-in EMI shield to protect the main board and integrated chips from electromagnetic interference, preventing signal interference between electronic devices and ensuring reliable performance.
Connect a USB-C power adapter to the pass-through port in order to charge the host laptop. The Gigabit Ethernet port ensures reliable wired network access. Support for Wake on Lan (WoL) allows you to boot the host computer from a remote location.
