Product Review

Leveraging 40Gbps of bandwidth made possible by Intel's Thunderbolt 3 technology, Plugable's Dual DisplayPort Adapter enables content creators and power users to connect two additional displays with uncompromising graphics performance. Supports up to two additional independent 4K displays (or a single 5k display) with 60Hz refresh rates. Thunderbolt 3-attached displays tap directly into the power of your system's graphics processor to enable high-performance, low-latency output without utilizing additional system resources.

Not all Thunderbolt 3 systems are compatible with dual display graphics adapters. See plugable.com/tbt3-dp2x for important compatibility information.

Compatible Systems

For both graphics adapter outputs to function, system manufacturer must have routed all DisplayPort lines to the Thunderbolt 3 port(s). This is an engineering decision made by your system manufacturer. Currently only Dell and HP Thunderbolt 3 systems meet this requirement but more compatible Thunderbolt 3 systems are expected in the future.

Tested/validated with:
Dell XPS 13 9350 & XPS 15 9550
HP Elite X2 1012 G1

Requires up-to-date system BIOS, Thunderbolt 3 drivers, and Thunderbolt 3 firmware installed on host system prior to device installation.

Non-compatible Systems

Will not function when attached to a non-Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port

As mentioned above, most current non-Dell, non-HP Thunderbolt 3 systems are not compatible due to a limited number of DisplayPort lines routed to the Thunderbolt 3 port.

Usage with non-DisplayPort Displays

Conversion to HDMI/DVI /VGA can only be done with active adapters (not inexpensive DP++ passive adapters).
