USB-C multi-monitor adapters for macOS

For macOS users requiring dual extended 4K displays on hardware that natively supports only one external monitor, DisplayLink adapters provide a functional workaround via a single USB-C connection.

Recommended models include the Plugable USB-C-6950M, which supports M1 through M5 Macs and MacBook Neo, and the WAVLINK Dual HDMI, which offers compatibility with both USB-C and USB-A connections. The Cable Matters Dual HDMI is also noted for supporting M1, M2, and M3 Mac laptops.

Users should note that these adapters require specific software, such as DisplayLink Manager, and may have limitations regarding HDCP-protected streaming content and high-intensity graphics or gaming tasks.
