Dual 4K Display for M1/M2/M3 Macs

Base model Apple M1, M2, and M3 Macs are limited to a single external display. This adapter overcomes that restriction by using DisplayLink technology to render content on the host system and transmit it over USB-C, effectively adding two 4K HDMI outputs where none existed before. It’s ideal for creative workflows, data analysis, or any task that benefits from expanded screen real estate.

Broad OS Compatibility

Beyond Macs, the adapter works seamlessly with Windows 10 and newer, plus ChromeOS 100+. Driver installation is automatic on Windows, while Mac and ChromeOS users download the DisplayLink driver from the manufacturer. This cross-platform support makes it a versatile choice for mixed-device environments.

Compact, Integrated Design

The unit measures just 60 x 80 x 15 mm and weighs 85 g, making it highly portable. An integrated 22 cm USB-C cable eliminates the need for a separate dongle, and two HDMI 2.0 ports provide direct connections to monitors. A small LED indicates power status, and the silver finish complements modern hardware.
