Product ID: DKT30CHPD
This sleek USB-C Multiport Adapter with HDMI combines the capability of three single-function adapters into a portable docking station for your laptop. You get the convenience of a USB-C to USB adapter, USB-C to Ethernet adapter, and USB-C 4K HDMI adapter all in one portable solution.
And, with support for 60W USB Power Delivery 2.0, you can power both the adapter and charge your laptop at the same time.
The versatile USB-C adapter lets you create a dual-monitor workstation virtually anywhere, providing 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160p) HDMI output with 30 Hz refresh rate and audio, two USB 3.0 ports, and a Gigabit Ethernet port, with support for USB Power Delivery 2.0.
The Gigabit Ethernet port with support for Wake-on-LAN (WOL), jumbo frames, VLAN tagging, and Energy-Efficient Ethernet, delivers a reliable wired network connection, ideal for areas with limited Wi-Fi access. Plus, with two additional USB 3.0 ports (USB Type-A) you can connect productivity devices like your mouse and/or flash drive.
Ideal for mobile use, the compact multiport adapter supports USB Power Delivery 2.0 (PD 2.0), so you can use your laptop's USB-C power adapter to power both your laptop and the adapter. The adapter also features an integrated extended-length USB-C cable, for added flexibility in connecting to your laptop, which means one less cable to carry with you.

Starting in High Sierra 10.13, macOS enforces stricter security policies than previous revisions. As a result of these changes, software packages, like those used in this installation, will need to be allowed within the macOS Security and Privacy settings, immediately after the software has been installed, in order for the device to operate.
To allow the software, follow these steps after you've completed installation on your Mac:
Note: The option to allow the software will be available within the Security & Privacy settings for 30 minutes. If the software is not allowed within that time frame, the software must be reinstalled in order for macOS to grant the opportunity to allow it again.
When you troubleshoot issues with a laptop docking station, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Video cables
Video source
Video destination
Laptop docking station
USB peripherals
Ethernet connection
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the video cables, video source, video destination, laptop docking station, USB peripherals, and Ethernet connection in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different video cable, video source, video destination, laptop docking station, USB peripherals, and Ethernet connection setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the video cables, video source, video destination, and laptop docking station it is recommended that you do the following:
Press the Windows key + R, type devmgmt.msc, and press Enter to open Device Manager.
If you do not see the USB video adapter in Device Manager, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/support/faqs/technical-support?topic=expansion-cards#usb-cannot-detect-windows.
If the device is listed with an error, reinstall the drivers following the instructions on the website.
Check to see if your video card drivers are current. You can check what video card you have in Device Manager under Display adapters. It is recommended that you go directly to the video card manufacturer's website to check for the latest drivers.
Check to see if the monitor is being detected by Windows.
