C2G C2G54540 USB-C to 2-Port HDMI MST Hub
Overview
The C2G C2G54540 is a USB-C to dual HDMI MST (Multi-Stream Transport) hub designed to expand a single USB-C port on a laptop or desktop into two independent HDMI display outputs. This allows for a more productive workspace by enabling users to run multiple applications across separate screens, a critical requirement for data analysis, software development, and complex system monitoring. It supports resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160) at 60Hz on each display when using MST, provided the host system and displays support the necessary bandwidth. This hub is ideal for professionals who need to extend their desktop for enhanced multitasking without requiring a dedicated docking station.
Compatibility
This hub is compatible with laptops and desktops featuring a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) and Multi-Stream Transport (MST). It functions with Windows 10 and later, as well as macOS 11 (Big Sur) and later. Specific compatibility extends to systems utilizing Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA graphics chipsets that support DP 1.4 or higher. It is designed to work with any HDMI monitor or display that supports the resolution and refresh rates specified. For optimal performance, ensure your host system's USB-C port is capable of delivering sufficient DisplayPort bandwidth for dual 4K displays.
Installation Notes
Connect the hub to a USB-C port on your host device that supports DP Alt Mode. Then, connect two HDMI displays to the hub's HDMI ports. Ensure the host system's graphics drivers are up to date for optimal MST performance. The hub draws power directly from the host's USB-C port, so no external power adapter is required. For dual 4K 60Hz output, the host system must support DisplayPort 1.4 or higher and provide adequate bandwidth. If the host system only supports DP 1.2, you may be limited to lower resolutions or a single 4K display at 60Hz.
