CableCreation USB-C to Dual HDMI + VGA Splitter Thunderbolt 3 Adapter

SKU CH-5TA0-4B94S

Connects a USB-C laptop to both an HDMI and a VGA display for mirroring or extending the desktop

  • Mirror or extend to two displays via HDMI and VGA
  • Plug-and-play with no driver installation required
  • HDMI output up to 4k*2k at 30 Hz
  • VGA output up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz
  • Works with Thunderbolt 3 and DisplayPort Alt Mode USB-C devices

Dual HDMI and VGA Output

This USB-C adapter splits one port into both an HDMI and a VGA connection for dual-monitor mirroring or extension. It targets presenters, teachers and mobile workers who face mixed projector and display inputs. The single cable replaces separate dongles for HDMI and VGA venues. Compatibility requires the host USB-C port to support Thunderbolt 3 or native DisplayPort alternate mode.

Aluminium Housing and Fixed Tails

The adapter uses an aluminium alloy shell that aids heat dissipation during extended sessions. Short, integrated cables for HDMI and VGA reduce strain on the host port and eliminate loose cable clutter. Plug-and-play operation needs no driver installation on supported macOS and Windows releases. The fixed tails mean damaged connectors require full unit replacement.

Thunderbolt 3 Bandwidth Ceiling

Video throughput is limited to the Thunderbolt 3 or DisplayPort alternate-mode bandwidth available from the host controller. HDMI output caps at 4K resolution at 30 Hz with 9 Gbps signalling, while VGA reaches 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz. Simultaneous dual-display use shares this bandwidth pool, so high refresh rates on both outputs are not possible. Systems lacking video-capable USB-C ports cannot use this adapter at all.

Questions about this item

What Thunderbolt 3 bandwidth does the adapter use for its dual outputs?

The adapter runs over a Thunderbolt 3 link with up to 9 Gbps bandwidth, enough for 4K at 30 Hz on HDMI and 1920×1200 at 60 Hz on VGA simultaneously.

What video ports must the monitors or projectors provide to use both outputs?

One display needs an HDMI input and the other a VGA input; the adapter supplies one of each so you can connect two different screens at once.

What host setting is required before the adapter will send video to both displays?

The host USB-C port must support Thunderbolt 3 or native DisplayPort alt mode; if it only carries data or USB 3.x the adapter will not output video.
