Product Information

Full details

The Cablenet 24-0313 MST Splitter is designed for professionals and users looking to expand their desktop workspace across multiple monitors. It allows you to connect up to three displays (two DisplayPort and one HDMI) from a single DisplayPort source, boosting productivity with its Multi-Stream Transport (MST) technology. A key caveat is that your source device must support DisplayPort 1.2 MST for full functionality, and not all operating systems or graphics cards may offer identical MST support.

FAQs

What is MST technology?

MST stands for Multi-Stream Transport. It allows multiple independent video streams to be sent over a single DisplayPort connection, enabling the use of multiple monitors from one port.

Does this splitter require external power?

No, this splitter is USB powered. You need to connect the included USB cable to a USB port on your computer or a powered USB hub for it to function.

Can I connect three HDMI monitors with this splitter?

No, this splitter supports two DisplayPort monitors and one HDMI monitor. If your DisplayPort monitors do not have native DP inputs, you will need appropriate DP to HDMI adapters, but the source port must be DisplayPort.

What is the maximum resolution supported?

The splitter supports a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K). However, the actual resolution achievable may depend on the capabilities of your source device and the connected monitors.

Will this work with my Mac?

MST support on macOS can be limited and may vary by model and macOS version. It is generally recommended for Windows systems. Check Apple's documentation for specific MST compatibility with your Mac model.

What is the difference between Mirror Mode and Extended Mode?

Mirror Mode duplicates your primary display, showing the same content on all connected monitors. Extended Mode allows you to use each monitor as a separate display, creating a larger workspace.

How do I configure my displays after connecting the splitter?

Once connected and powered, your operating system should detect the monitors. You can then configure them through your system's display settings (e.g., Windows Display Settings) to choose between extending, duplicating, or arranging the displays.

Troubleshooting

No signal on one or more monitors

Ensure the USB power cable is securely connected. Verify that your source device supports DisplayPort 1.2 MST. Check if the monitors are set to the correct input source and if the resolution is supported by all displays. Try connecting one monitor at a time to identify the faulty connection or monitor.

Displays are not extending, only mirroring

Confirm that your computer's graphics card and operating system support MST. Go to your system's display settings and ensure 'Extend these displays' is selected. Some older systems or graphics drivers may have limited MST functionality.

Flickering or unstable video output

Check all cable connections for a secure fit. Ensure you are using certified DisplayPort and HDMI cables that support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Update your graphics card drivers to the latest version.

One or more ports not recognized

Restart your computer with the splitter connected. Test each port individually with a known working monitor and cable to isolate the issue. Ensure the graphics driver is up to date.
