Before you buy: this is a selector, not a dock or signal converter. It does not make a data-only USB-C port output video, and it does not show two displays simultaneously. Thunderbolt compatibility depends on the connected devices and cables; Thunderbolt certification is not claimed. Charger, monitor and host devices are not included.
