Compact USB-C multiport adapter

This white adapter turns one USB-C port into an HDMI output, a USB-A 5Gbps port and a USB-C power-delivery pass-through. It draws on the host GPU to drive a 4K 60Hz display without installing drivers. The enclosure uses 75% post-consumer recycled plastic and the cable jacket uses 35% recycled TPE.

Replaces separate dongles and power bricks

Instead of carrying an HDMI dongle, a USB-A hub and a charger, this single unit handles video, data and up to 140W PD 3.2 charging at once. The jump is worth it when you need all three functions on a thin-and-light laptop that has only one USB-C port.

Sustained 4K 60Hz output with continuous charging

Under long sessions the adapter maintains 4K 60Hz video while passing up to 140W to the host, so the battery does not drain during presentations or extended desk work. Driverless operation means no software overhead adds latency over time.

Questions about this item

What physical space does the 1.3 x 5.6 x 6.7 inch white adapter need beside my laptop?

The compact enclosure measures 1.3 by 5.6 by 6.7 inches and weighs .2 lbs, so it sits alongside a notebook without blocking neighbouring ports or needing a separate mount.

Which plug-in sequence avoids a blank screen on the 4K 60Hz HDMI output?

Connect the HDMI cable to the display first, then insert the USB-C plug into the host; the adapter uses the system GPU for driverless 4K 60Hz video, so the monitor must be detected before the handshake.

When should I expect to replace the 35% PCR TPE cable jacket?

The jacket contains 35% post-consumer recycled TPE; inspect it periodically for cracks or exposed conductors and swap the adapter if the sheathing degrades from repeated bending.
