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 offers 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
