In order to use a 1 USB-C port laptop together with the adapter so it can both charge and display at the same time.

I’m using a laptop which has only one USB-C port (Lenovo E15 Gen 2). This port is used for video signal through Thunderbolt 4 and also as power source for charging the laptop. When using MSTCDP123HD it’s not possible to charge the laptop and therefor I have to choose between charging the laptop or using the 3x HDMI-displays I have.

As a solution right now I’m using MSTMDP123HD (which I already had) together with a Delock adapter ([https://www.delock.com/produkt/62990/merkmale.html](https://www.delock.com/produkt/62990/merkmale.html)). This way I’m able to use the video signal and charge the laptop at the same time.

Laptop ↔ Delock 62990 ↔ MSTMDP123HD + Power Adapter ↔ 3x HDMI-display

Hi Julian,

Periodically, I run all of the ideas in the community by our product team. This go around I asked them to pick their favorite over the last couple of months and they chose yours! Look for a direct message from me as I’ve got a [StarTech.com](http://StarTech.com) gift I’d love to send your way.

Thanks,

Jeff
