Categories : Series
SKU : POR-SER-849
The Plugable USBC-MD101 USB-C Multiport Adapter is a mini dock that connects an external HDMI monitor, a USB peripheral, and a USB-C power adapter to your USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 laptop. Its compact size makes it perfect for travel and minimal desk setups.
Leveraging USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode, the adapter supports HDMI video output up to 4K at 30Hz. This allows you to extend your laptop's display for presentations, entertainment, or multitasking. Note that 4K 60Hz requires HBR3 support; otherwise, it may fall back to 4K 30Hz.
The adapter includes a USB-C port for connecting your laptop's power adapter, enabling up to 100W of power delivery pass-through. This keeps your laptop charged while the adapter is in use, eliminating the need for an extra charger.
One USB-A port allows you to connect a mouse, keyboard, flash drive, or other USB peripherals. The adapter is ideal for users who need to expand their laptop's connectivity without cluttering their bag.
Works with USB-C and Thunderbolt 3/4 laptops, including MacBook, Chromebook, and Windows devices. However, some systems may require a specific DisplayPort Alt Mode implementation. Check your device's specs.
If your HDMI monitor isn't displaying, ensure your laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. Not all USB-C ports do. Also, try a different HDMI cable and connect the adapter directly to the laptop (avoid hubs). For best results, update your laptop's graphics drivers.
This multiport adapter is your go-to for simple, single-cable connectivity.

This adapter is ideal for professionals who need to quickly connect to a conference room display or set up a temporary workstation. Its durable aluminum housing and compact design make it a reliable travel companion. Plug in your USB-A mouse, connect the HDMI, and you're ready to work.
Ensure your laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. Many USB-C ports only support data and charging. Also, try a different HDMI cable and connect the adapter directly to the laptop, bypassing any hubs. If you're using a Mac, check for driver updates.
The USBC-MD101 is not designed for the Nintendo Switch. While it may deliver video in some cases, power delivery and HDMI compatibility are not guaranteed. For Switch support, consider a dedicated Switch dock.
No, it supports up to 4K at 30Hz. For 4K 60Hz, you need a device that supports DisplayPort 1.4 with HBR3, which this adapter does not. Check your laptop's capabilities and consider an alternative if you need 60Hz.
Yes, it uses DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C to output HDMI. Your laptop must support DP Alt Mode for the video output to work. This is common on many modern laptops, but not all.
This little adapter is a lifesaver. I take it everywhere with my MacBook. It's compact, sturdy, and does exactly what it says. HDMI out works flawlessly for presentations.
Works as advertised. I use it to connect my laptop to an external monitor and it handles 4K at 60Hz. The USB-A port is handy for a mouse. It does get a bit warm after long use, but so do most adapters. Happy with the purchase.
It works. Plugged it in and everything connected instantly. No drivers needed. HDMI output is crisp. USB port reads my flash drives. Charging works too. Highly recommend.
The adapter works fine for most tasks, but I've had a couple of glitches where the video signal drops for a second or two. It's rare but annoying. Also, the USB-A port only supports 5Gbps, which is fine for most things. Build quality feels okay. If you need a simple adapter, it's decent, but there might be better options.
I love how compact this is. It fits in my pocket, so I can turn any HDMI monitor into a second screen for my laptop. The passthrough charging is a bonus. I've used it daily for a month and it's been reliable. Great build quality, doesn't feel cheap.
I needed an adapter to connect my laptop to a hotel TV. This worked. Setup was simple, just plug and play. The only downside is that the HDMI connection doesn't support 4K at 60Hz, but my TV is only 1080p so I didn't notice. It's a solid adapter for the price.
I bought this for my Dell XPS and it works without issues. The HDMI port supports 4K at 60Hz which is great for my monitor. The USB-A port is fast and the PD charging keeps my laptop topped up. It's a bit pricey but worth it for the build and reliability.
It worked well initially, but after about 3 months of daily use, the HDMI output started flickering and then died completely. The USB ports still work but that's not why I bought it. Poor durability. I expected better from Plugable.
