Plugable's USB-C Dual 4K adapters support two external monitors at resolutions up to 4K@60Hz each and offers a Gigabit Ethernet port for connecting to your network via Ethernet cable. Our adapter is compatible with systems with a USB 3.1 Type-C Gen 1 / Gen 2 or Thunderbolt 3 ports and leverages the increased data throughput of these technologies.
The Dual 4K DisplayPort adapter offers two Dual-Mode DisplayPort 1.2 (DP++) ports and is backwards compatible with previous DisplayPort specifications.
4K@60Hz Notes:
To achieve 4K@60Hz each connected monitor and cable must support the desired resolution and refresh rate.
DisplayPort equipped monitors and DisplayPort cable must support DisplayPort 1.2 specification in order to support 4K@60Hz. While backwards compatible with DisplayPort 1.1 standards, the resolution will be limited to 4K@30Hz if the display or cable does not support DisplayPort 1.2 specifications.
