Universal OS Compatibility
Designed for broad device support, the adapter works seamlessly with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Android. After a one-time DisplayLink® driver installation, users can access consistent dual-display functionality across mixed-device environments, shared workstations, and older laptops that lack native multi-monitor support.

Powered by DisplayLink® Technology
Unlike standard USB-C DP-Alt Mode connections that are limited by hardware and often restricted to mirroring or a single external display, DisplayLink® technology enables stable, software-driven extended desktops. This ensures reliable dual-monitor output and consistent performance across a wide range of devices.

Dual HDMI 4K@60Hz Output
Support two external HDMI monitors at up to 4K resolution and 60Hz refresh rate for a true extended desktop experience. Increased screen space improves productivity by enabling smoother multitasking, side-by-side workflows, and high-resolution content viewing for professional applications.

Apple Silicon Macs are natively limited to one external display. This adapter removes that limitation, enabling dual extended monitors from a single USB-C port—ideal for coding, graphic design, video editing, and advanced multitasking.

USB-C PD Pass-Through Charging up to 90W
The integrated USB-C Power Delivery pass-through port provides up to 90W charging, allowing your laptop to remain powered while driving dual 4K displays. This reduces cable clutter, eliminates extra chargers, and supports uninterrupted performance during demanding workloads.

Frequently Asked Questions — MB-DLA-CD2H

Q1: Does this adapter support dual extended displays on a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3)?

Yes. Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3) are natively limited to a single external display. The MB-DLA-CD2H overcomes this limitation using DisplayLink® technology, enabling two fully independent extended monitors from a single USB-C port. This makes it ideal for coding, graphic design, video editing, and professional multitasking on MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models.

⚠️ Driver Installation Required: The DisplayLink® driver must be installed before the adapter's display outputs will function. Download the correct macOS version from the official DisplayLink® website or use the link provided in the user manual.

Q2: What resolution and refresh rate does the MB-DLA-CD2H support?

The adapter supports dual 4K@60Hz output via two HDMI 2.0 ports (maximum resolution: 3840 × 2160 per display). Both monitors can run simultaneously at full 4K resolution and 60Hz refresh rate, providing a smooth, high-resolution extended desktop experience for professional applications.

Port Standard Max Resolution Max Refresh Rate
HDMI Port 1 HDMI 2.0 4K (3840 × 2160) 60Hz
HDMI Port 2 HDMI 2.0 4K (3840 × 2160) 60Hz

Q3: Which operating systems and laptops are compatible with this adapter?

The MB-DLA-CD2H is compatible with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Android devices that feature a USB-C port. After a one-time DisplayLink® driver installation, it delivers consistent dual-display functionality across the following devices (and other major USB-C laptops):

  • MacBook Pro / Air — M1, M2, M3 series
  • Dell® XPS series
  • Lenovo ThinkPad X / T series
  • HP® EliteBook & Spectre series
  • Microsoft® Surface devices with USB-C

Q4: Can I charge my laptop while using dual displays?

Yes. The MB-DLA-CD2H features a dedicated USB-C PD 3.0 pass-through port supporting up to 90W of laptop charging. You can connect your existing USB-C charger to the pass-through port and keep your laptop powered while simultaneously driving two 4K displays — reducing cable clutter and eliminating the need for a second charger.

⚠️ Note: A USB-C PD charger is not included in the package. Please use a compatible USB-C PD charger rated for your laptop's power requirements (up to 90W supported).

Q5: Why does this adapter require a driver, and how does DisplayLink® technology differ from a standard USB-C adapter?

Standard USB-C adapters rely on DP Alt Mode, which is restricted by the host device's hardware — often limiting output to a single external display or mirroring only. DisplayLink® technology takes a different approach: it uses a software-driven method to encode and transmit display data over USB, bypassing hardware limitations entirely. This is why a one-time driver installation is needed, and why the adapter can unlock dual extended displays even on devices like Apple Silicon Macs that otherwise restrict external monitor support.

Once the driver is installed, the adapter operates as plug and display — simply connect and go.
