Extend Your Monitor-The Fast and Simple Way
Learn More
Setting up a productive workstation starts with an extra monitor. The Plugable USB 3.0 and USB C to DisplayPort Video Adapter (UGA-DP-S) keeps things simple. A one plug solution that adds a DisplayPort port to your computer, the DisplayPort adapter leaves your other ports open for peripherals. And because this adapter doesn't add on extra functionality, it's a lot more affordable than a docking station-something your purchasing manager will appreciate.
Add a Screen
With the UGA-DP-S converter, easily connect one DisplayPort monitor. Of course, adding an extra display is just the start. On Windows machines, combine multiple graphic adapters to add up to 8 monitors. On a Mac, combine multiple adapters to add up to 3 monitors.
See It All
It doesn't matter if you connect through a USB 3.0 port or a Thunderbolt 4 port, you can count on resolutions up to 1920x1080 @ 60Hz-even when adding multiple adapters.
No Connection Complexity
A hybrid 2-in-1 cable takes the guesswork out of picking an adapter that matches your computer-no IT support required. This DisplayPort monitor adapter works with the ports you have now, and the ports you'll have on your next computer-USB 3.0, USB-C, USB4, even Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4. It's compact, too, so it's as portable as your laptop.
The Fine Print
Designed for office work using web and productivity apps-like Google Docs, the Windows Office Suite, and internet use in general-these adapters are not recommended for gaming, graphics-intensive, or design work. This adapter doesn't support playback of HDCP-protected content on sites like Netflix and Hulu. On Mac, screen rotation is not available and clamshell mode is only available on macOS 12 when the laptop is connected to its power adapter. Silicon Motion (SMI) driver download is required for Windows. SMI Instant View driver is required for Mac.
