The StarTech.com 117B-USBC-MULTIPORT is a versatile mini docking station designed for professionals needing expanded connectivity and multi-monitor support from a single USB-C port. It enables up to three external displays with resolutions up to 4K UHD, alongside a 3-port USB hub, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB-C Power Delivery for laptop charging. While it offers significant expansion, optimal triple 4K performance depends on your host computer's GPU and MST support.

MST stands for Multi-Stream Transport. It allows multiple independent video streams to be sent over a single DisplayPort connection. For the 117B-USBC-MULTIPORT to support three separate displays, your host computer's graphics card and driver must support MST.
No. The adapter supports a maximum of 1x 4K (3840 x 2160) at 60Hz and 2x 4K (3840 x 2160) at 30Hz. Achieving this maximum performance requires a host computer with Intel 11th Gen or later and support for Display Stream Compression (DSC).
No, this adapter is designed for driverless, plug-and-play setup on compatible operating systems like Windows and ChromeOS.
The adapter supports USB Power Delivery 3.0 pass-through up to 100W. You must connect your own USB-C power adapter to the adapter's PD port to charge your laptop and power peripherals.
Yes, the adapter provides 2x HDMI and 2x DisplayPort outputs, allowing you to mix and match display connections based on your needs.
The adapter features USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, which offer data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps, significantly faster than the 5Gbps speeds of USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports.
This adapter primarily supports Windows and ChromeOS. While some Thunderbolt 3/4 MacBooks might offer limited functionality, full support for triple displays and all features is optimized for Windows and ChromeOS environments due to MST implementation differences.
Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the adapter and the laptop. Verify the laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Check that the correct input source is selected on each monitor. Confirm your host computer meets the resolution and refresh rate requirements and has MST support enabled.
Ensure USB devices are plugged into the USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports for optimal speed. Try connecting devices directly to the laptop to rule out device issues. Disconnect and reconnect the USB devices and the adapter's USB-C cable.
Confirm you are using a USB-C power adapter that supports at least 65W (or higher, depending on your laptop's needs) and is connected to the adapter's USB-C PD port. Ensure the power adapter is functioning correctly by testing it directly with your laptop.
Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the adapter and the router/switch. Check the network adapter status in your operating system's network settings. Try a different Ethernet cable or port on your router/switch.
The performance is dependent on the host computer's GPU. Ensure your laptop's drivers are up-to-date. Lower the display resolution or refresh rate on one or more monitors if your host system is struggling. Check if your host supports DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC for optimal performance.
