StarTech.com - DVI Dual-Monitor USB 3.0 Docking Station - Black / Silver

Transform your workspace with one cable. The Plugable UD-MSTH2 docking station for laptop turns a compatible laptop into a complete workstation reducing cable clutter while adding dual-monitor productivity, charging, and everyday connectivity. The UD-MSTH2 was awarded the “Best Dual Monitor Docking Station” by WIRED Connect two HDMI monitors and expand your desktop for smoother multitasking across email, spreadsheets, and video calls. This is an MST dock (Multi-Stream Transport), enabling two displays from a single USB-C video connection on supported systems. Each display can support up to 4K 60Hz, but your actual resolution/refresh rate depends on your laptop’s capabilities. For video output, your USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode (not all USB-C ports support video). Beyond displays, the UD-MSTH2 works as an all-in-one connectivity hub with up to 65W laptop charging, Gigabit Ethernet for stable wired networking, USB ports for peripherals and storage, and a 3.5mm audio jack for headsets or speakers—ideal for remote work, shared desks, and office setups where you want everything ready the moment you plug in. Designed to be simple and stress-free on supported systems with driverless, plug-and-play operation. It’s a great fit for Windows 10+ and ChromeOS laptops that support USB-C video output, including many popular business and productivity lines and it can be a solid option for users searching for a Lenovo docking station as long as the Lenovo laptop’s USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. macOS users should note that Apple’s display limitations mean this dock will support only one external display, so it is not recommended if you need two extended monitors. In the box: UD-MSTH2 dock, 110W power adapter (supports up to 65W charging), 1m USB-C host cable, and Quick Start Guide. Backed by Plugable’s lifetime support from our North American team of connectivity experts.
