Special Notes / Requirements
System and Cable Requirements
A host laptop with an available USB-C port (to ensure full adapter functionality, the host USB-C port must support USB Power Delivery 2.0 or PD 3.0 and DP alt mode)
Optional: USB-C power adapter (for example, your laptop’s USB-C based power adapter)
For a dual-monitor configuration the host laptop must support MST.
Not all USB-C ports support the full functionality of the USB Type-C standard. Ensure that your host USB-C port supports USB Power Delivery 2.0 or 3.0 and DP alt mode.
The adapter can connect to a host laptop’s USB-C port that doesn’t support USB Power Delivery 2.0 or 3.0. However, in this configuration if a power adapter is connected to the multifunction adapter, it will not pass power through to your host laptop.
The multiport adapter provides limited Chrome support (no MST support; Ethernet only when using bus power).
The multiport adapter provides limited Android support (no MST support).
A 4K-capable display is required to achieve 3840 x 2160p resolution (4K is also known as 4K x 2K)
Video output capabilities are dependent on the video card and hardware specification of your connected laptop.
USB 3.0 is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1; this connectivity standard offers speeds up to 5Gbps.
Your laptop may have specific requirements for charging. This USB-C multiport adapter supports USB Power Delivery 3.0, up to 100W. When using your laptop’s USB-C power adapter, the multiport adapter powers both the adapter (with attached peripherals) and your laptop - with up to 85W charging available for laptop charging. For more information on your laptop’s charging requirements, refer to the manufacturer of your laptop.
Through support of USB Power Delivery 3.0, the multiport adapter supports Fast Role Swap which prevents USB data disruption when you unplug to switch power sources (USB-C power adapter to bus power).
In USB 3.0 mode, the maximum Ethernet speed is 1000 Mbps. In USB 2.0 mode, the maximum Ethernet speed is 100 Mbps.
