“This new series of USB-C dual monitor multiport adapters provides users reliable connectivity and unbeatable versatility in a small, compact device. The user can choose between better display resolution or faster data transfer, while also experiencing the latest power delivery (laptop charging) technology. Our continued focus on expanding our broad line of multiport adapters is helping to ensure that regardless of the specificity of the customer’s needs, we’ll have a multiport adapter that is perfect for completing their solution.”

With HDMI and DisplayPort versions, the StarTech.com USB-C multiport adapters feature USB-A and Ethernet ports, as well as Power Delivery 3.0 (up to 85W output).
