Expand the connectivity of your USB-C™ enabled laptop. This sleek and compact USB-C multiport adapter, in attractive silver and white, is the perfect accessory for your MacBook Pro, MacBook, Chromebook™ or other USB Type C™ equipped laptop. The adapter is also Thunderbolt™ 3 port compatible, so you can connect it to your Thunderbolt 3 equipped laptop.
The USB-C adapter lets you create a powerful workstation virtually anywhere, providing 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160p) HDMI video output, two USB 3.0 ports, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. You can also power both the multiport adapter and your laptop simultaneously, with support for USB Power Delivery 2.0.
Create a powerful workstation
When coupled with your laptop display, this versatile USB-C multiport adapter makes it easy to create a dual-monitor workstation when you need it. It offers a 4K HDMI® port (with audio), so you can easily connect a high-resolution monitor and gain access to more screen space. With higher resolutions, you can view more windows at once and increase your productivity.
The Gigabit Ethernet port ensures reliable wired network access, which is ideal for areas with limited Wi-Fi access. Plus, with two additional USB 3.0 ports (USB Type-A) you can connect your existing peripheral devices, like your mouse or flash drive.
Designed for easy portability
This multiport adapter means you don’t have to carry multiple power adapters with you. Ideal for mobile use, it features a USB-C port that supports USB Power Delivery 2.0 (USB PD 2.0), so you can use your laptop’s USB-C power adapter to power both your laptop and the multiport adapter.
The versatile multiport adapter is compact and lightweight, so it's easy to tuck into your laptop bag. It consolidates multiple ports into a single adapter, which means you don’t need to bring along multiple single-function adapters.
The adapter also features an integrated USB-C cable, which means one less cable to carry with you. The cable’s extended length at 25 cm (9.84"), provides you with more placement options, so you can position the adapter exactly where you need it, to work in comfort.
The DKT30CHPDW is backed by a StarTech.com 3-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
Note: To ensure full adapter functionality, your laptop’s USB-C port must support USB Power Delivery and DP alt mode.
