How to connect my Mac with USB-C to two 27" Apple LED displays with Mini DisplayPort?

I have a Macbook pro with 4 USB-c ports. I want to connect thiss to 2 LED Cinema Display's (27") that have Mini DisplayPort.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use a USB-c splitter or -hub that connects USB-c to 2 Mini DisplayPorts?

Hello E-P-S,


To connect an external monitor that has a Mini DisplayPort type connection, you would need a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort cable. Here's an example of one: USB-C to Mini DisplayPort cable


If you're trying to connect multiple monitors to the computer, you'll want to check the tech specs for your specific model to see how many external monitors you can connect: Connect a display to your Mac


Cheers!

Dear Jaym_8,


I can connect the 27" LED cinema display with an adapter, this is no problem. Furthermore, I can also connect 2 of these exact same monitors. So my laptop is compatible and the adapters are available.


My question is however: Is there a hub/adapter on the market that can combine 2 Mini DisplayPorts into 1 USB-C connection. Preferable with a power output possibility.


Kind regards

To use Two displays on one cable on a recent MacBook Pro, that cable must be a genuine ThunderBolt cable which is both appropriately short (under 0.8 meter) and 40 G bits/sec rated. The first device (display or dock) must be a genuine Thunderbolt device.


The Mac does not support multiple displays on a USB-C cable.
