The DKT30CHVW lets you create a workstation for your laptop when you’re on the
move. It’s USB-powered, so it doesn’t require a separate power adapter. The adapter
connects to your laptop through its integrated USB-C™ cable. It also features an
HDMI® port and a VGA port, so you can connect a single external monitor. You can also
connect wired Gigabit Internet to the RJ45 port, and a USB peripheral to the USB 3.0
port.

About USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 1
USB 3.0 is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1. This connectivity standard oers speeds up
to 5Gbps. Any mention of USB 3.0 in this manual or on the StarTech.com website for
DKT30CHV refers to the 5Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 1 standard.
About USB-C
Not all USB-C ports support the full functionality of the USB Type-C standard. This
adapter’s USB-C port supports data throughput (up to 5Gbps), as well as DP alt mode
(video over USB-C). The adapter does not support USB power delivery 2.0.
Install the adapter
The adapter is natively supported when connected to a compatible operating system
(see the System requirements topic for supported operating systems). It automatically
detects and installs the required drivers once connected to a USB-C port on your host
laptop.
Connect the adapter
1. Connect your external display to the adapter (for example, an HDMI or VGA
monitor).
2. Connect your peripherals to the adapter (for example, a USB device such as
a keyboard, or RJ45 network device).
3. Connect the adapter’s built-in USB-C cable to a USB-C port on your host laptop.
Note: Only one video output port can be used at a time (HDMI or VGA). If two displays
are connected, the HDMI port takes priority.
Power the adapter
The adapter is bus-powered (powered by your host laptop’s USB-C port) and does not
require or support a separate power adapter. Once connected to a host laptop, the
adapter is powered.
Install the drivers
Once the adapter is powered and connected to your host laptop, the required drivers
install automatically.
If the drivers don’t automatically install, follow the below steps to complete the driver
installation:
1. If the Found New Hardware dialog box appears on your screen, close the dialog
box or click Cancel.
2. Download the latest drivers, by using a Web browser to navigate to www.startech.
com/DKT30CHVW.

3. Click the Support tab.
4. Download the driver.
5. When the download is complete, extract the contents of the compressed le that
you downloaded.
6. Double-click the appropriate driver for the version of operating system that you’re
running and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Note: You may be asked to restart your computer to complete the installation.
Congure a display device
Use your operating system to adjust display settings for multiple monitors (for
example, using your laptop screen plus an HDMI display).
To use an external display with the adapter:
• Your laptop hardware must support DP alt mode, as well as an external display,
through its USB-C port.
• Only one video output port can be used at a time (HDMI or VGA). If two displays are
connected, the HDMI port takes priority.
• Set the refresh rates of a connected external monitor to the same values as your
laptop screen, otherwise your monitor might not display properly.
Supported video resolutions
The adapter supports the following maximum resolutions.
• Only one video output port can be used at a time (HDMI or VGA). If two displays are
connected, the HDMI port takes priority and VGA is disabled.
• Depending on the conguration and the supported resolutions of your connected
display, the adapter supports resolutions lower than specied.
• Video output capabilities are dependent on the video card and hardware
specications of your connected host laptop.
Video Output Maximum Resolution
HDMI 3840 x 2160p (4K UltraHD)
VGA 2048 x 1280p
