Leveraging 40Gbps of bandwidth made possible by Intel's Thunderbolt 3 technology, Plugable's Thunderbolt 3 Dual DisplayPort Display Adapter (TBT3-DP2X) enables content creators and power users to connect two additional displays to their Thunderbolt 3 enabled laptop with uncompromising graphics performance. The adapter housing is made from sleek, lightweight aluminum allowing for easy expansion of your Thunderbolt 3 laptop or tablet on-the-go. Not all Thunderbolt 3 systems are compatible with dual display graphics adapters. See important details regarding system compatibility in the section below.Dual Video Outputs From a Single Thunderbolt 3 Display AdapterThunderbolt 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.Supports two DisplayPort displays up to 4096x2160 @ 60Hz (4K/UHD). Backward compatible with 1920x1080 (1080p) displays as well. Thunderbolt 3 is a powerful technology, and system manufacturers have substantial discretion in how they implement various Thunderbolt 3 technical elements and features. As a result, compatibility information is complex and some currently available Thunderbolt 3 systems aren't compatible with our dual graphics adapters. To work as expected with our Dual DisplayPort Adapter, the host Thunderbolt 3-enabled system must meet the following requirements:- The system manufacturer must have physically routed two DisplayPort video output lanes to a single Thunderbolt 3 port. Thunderbolt 3 systems from Dell meet this requirement, the specifications for Thunderbolt 3 systems from other manufacturers may vary- Current Thunderbolt 3 host firmware ("NVM") from the system manufacturer must be applied to the system- Requires updated system UEFI BIOS, Thunderbolt 3 drivers, and graphics processing unit (GPU) drivers from system manufacturer- Please note this adapter connects to monitors using the DisplayPort standard, which is different from HDMI. A separate HDMI version of the adapter is available if connectivity to HDMI displays is neededPlease refer to the attached Specification Sheet for additional compatibility information.Host System RequirementsWindows 10, 8.1, and 7 systems with Thunderbolt 3 support built-in. Adapter will not function if attached to a non-Thunderbolt 3 capable USB-C port. Thunderbolt 3 port required for operation.Usage With Non-DisplayPort Displays (HDMI/DVI/VGA)Adapter video outputs are pure DisplayPort, not Dual-mode (DP++)and are incompatible with ‘passive’ DisplayPort to HDMI/DVI/VGA adapters. You must use ‘active’ adapters if protocol conversion is required. If HDMI connectivity is required, please use our TBT3-HDMI2X-83 adapter.
