USB-C Dual Monitor Multiport Adapters Feature DisplayPort Alt Mode Switch for Enhanced
DisplayPort Alt Mode Switch allows users to switch between high resolution displays and fast transfer
speeds while adapter supports Power Delivery 3.0 to power and charge laptop
Lockbourne, OH – StarTech.com has introduced two new dual display USB-C multiport adapters/mini
docks to its continuously expanding USB-C connectivity line. With support for Power Delivery 3.0 and
dual 4K display, these multiport adapters (HDMI: DK30C2HAGPD and DisplayPort: DK30C2DAGPD)
take on-the go productivity and flexibility with a Windows® laptop to the next level.
Perfect for compact workstations or the road warrior, these new USB-C multiport adapters support HDMI
(DK30C2HAGPD) or DisplayPort (DK30C2DAGPD), providing exceptional performance at your desk, on-
the-go or when making conference room presentations. For a compact workstation, users can connect to
dual monitors, ethernet and extra USB Type-A ports without having to sacrifice valuable desk real estate
for the dock. When it’s time for a meeting, the compact size of these mini-docks makes it easy for users to
take them into the boardroom and present their content. Users can effortlessly showcase their material
across two monitors, making presentations requiring two displays, no longer an obstacle.
The true differentiator for these adapters is the inclusion of a DisplayPort Alt Mode switch. This switch
allows users to choose between higher display resolutions or faster USB speeds. It ensures that,
depending on the user’s specific needs, they can get the most out of their device’s performance when
using the adapter. Choose dual 4K30 (or single 4K60) resolution with USB 2.0 port speeds if applications
require better display resolutions with more basic USB devices connected (such as keyboard and
mouse). Users can easily switch to the faster USB 3.0 and downgrade display resolution to dual 1080p
(or single 4K30) when more focus on transfer speed is required (such as external hard drive).
The incorporation of Power Delivery 3.0 (PD 3.0) in the adapters is also a critical component of the
enhanced user experience. These multiport adapters can be powered from the laptop, or with support for
up to 100W PD, can power any attached peripherals and charge your laptop (up to 85W) when connected
to a USB-C power adapter, which is available with many USB-C laptops. A key feature of PD 3.0 is Fast
Role Swap which prevents USB data disruption when switching power sources. Users can confidently
unplug the power adapter and switch to bus power without worrying that their workflow and data transfer

needs, we’ll have a multiport adapter that is perfect for completing their solution.”
