USB-C Multiport Adapter with Dual 4K 60Hz HDMI via DisplayLink, 10Gbps USB Hub, Gigabit Ethernet, SD 4.0 Reader, and 100W Power Delivery Pass-Through for MacBook and USB-C Laptops
The StarTech 102B-USBC-MULTIPORT is a MacBook docking station that enables dual 4K 60Hz extended displays on MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models with Apple M1, M2, M3, and M4 processors that natively support only one external monitor. The integrated DisplayLink DL-6950 controller drives two HDMI 2.0 outputs at 3840x2160 60Hz independently of the host GPU, working with any USB-C, USB4, or Thunderbolt 3/4 laptop running Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, or Ubuntu. A compact multiport adapter from StarTech with a 10Gbps USB hub, Gigabit Ethernet, SD 4.0 card reader, 100W USB PD 3.0 pass-through, bus-powered operation, and a 3-year warranty.
The 10Gbps USB hub provides one USB-A port with 7.5W BC 1.2 fast charging and one USB-C data port for high-speed peripherals, while the SD 4.0 card reader delivers 160MB/s transfer speeds for photographers and content creators. The dedicated USB PD 3.0 port passes through up to 100W from an external charger (82W to the laptop, 18W reserved for stable dock operation), and the built-in Gigabit Ethernet port supports PXE Boot and Wake-on-LAN for enterprise network management. The 22-inch host cable provides extended reach for flexible desk placement without additional adapters.
Where the 102B-USBC-MULTIPORT Fits
- MacBook dual-monitor setups where DisplayLink enables two independent 4K 60Hz displays on Apple M1, M2, M3, and M4 MacBook Air and Pro models that cannot natively drive more than one external monitor through USB-C alone
- Mobile workstations and travel where the bus-powered 8.8-ounce adapter converts any USB-C laptop into a dual-display workstation with Ethernet, USB, and SD card access from a hotel room, coworking space, or conference room
- IT departments with mixed fleets where USB-IF and VESA-compliant, DisplayLink-certified compatibility across Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Ubuntu simplifies procurement for organizations running multiple operating systems and laptop brands
