Connect this USB Type-C Multiport Adapter to a USB-C, USB4, or Thunderbolt 3/4™ laptop to enable single-display 4K 60Hz HDMI 2.0b or 1080p 60Hz VGA video output via DP Alt Mode. The USB-C dock works with USB Type-C laptops or tablets, such as a Chromebook, Dell XPS, or MacBook. It features a 3-Port USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) Hub (2x USB-A, 1x USB-C), and Gigabit Ethernet. Connect the laptop USB-C power supply to the dedicated USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 port, to charge the laptop.
Extra-Long Cable with Built-in Cable Manager
The Multiport Adapter features an extra-long attached 12.6in. (32cm) USB-C host cable. The Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) cable jacket is softer and more flexible than PVC jacketed cables. The extra-long cable reduces port/connector strain, particularly when laptops are placed on riser stands, or on 2-in-1 devices with raised USB-C ports, such as the Microsoft Surface. In addition, the Multiport Adapter also features an innovative wrap-around cable manager that facilitates tangle-free storage in a laptop bag.
USB 3.2 Gen 2 Hub
Connect one USB-C and two USB-A peripherals to the USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) ports.
Multiple Applications
A versatile solution for adding docking station capabilities in an office, home office, hotel, or in the boardroom. It's portable enough to be carried in a bag or backpack. This lightweight USB-C Adapter can operate with bus-power alone or connect a USB-C power adapter (not included with Multiport Adapter) for laptop charging.
USB PD 3.0 features Fast Role Swap (FRS) to prevent USB data disruption when disconnecting the power source.
Wired Gigabit Network Connectivity
The Gigabit Ethernet port ensures reliable wired network access, with support for PXE Boot and Wake-on-LAN (WoL).
