Vertiv USBCKVMDHNP Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Vertiv USBCKVMDHNP adapter is designed to extend a single USB-C port into dual-head video output, supporting both USB-C and HDMI connections. This is critical for deploying workstations that require multiple displays for enhanced situational awareness in control rooms or for complex data analysis in security operations centers. The USBCKVMDHNP allows for simultaneous video streams to two separate monitors from a single host computer, simplifying cabling and reducing the need for multiple video cards or docking stations.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with laptops, workstations, and mini-PCs featuring a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode). It is designed to work with systems running Windows 10/11 and macOS operating systems. Specific compatibility extends to workstations utilizing Vertiv's KVM solutions and other multi-monitor setups where dual independent video outputs are required from a single USB-C source.

Installation Notes

Ensure the host system's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video output. For optimal performance and to avoid display flickering or resolution limitations, verify that the host system's graphics drivers are up to date. The adapter draws minimal power from the host USB-C port and does not require external power. Connect the USB-C cable to the host, then connect HDMI or USB-C displays to the corresponding ports on the adapter.
