Sonnet Announces Dual 4K HDMI 2.1 Display Thunderbolt Adapter for Mac and Windows Computers

Sonnet Thunderbolt™ Dual HDMI® 2.1 Adapter

Bus-Powered Thunderbolt™ Adapter Connects Two 4K 120Hz HDMI® Displays to a Single Thunderbolt or USB4® Computer Port

What’s New:
Sonnet Technologies today announced the Thunderbolt™ Dual HDMI® 2.1 Adapter, a new addition to the company’s line of dual-display adapters for Intel® processor-based Windows® and Mac® computers with Thunderbolt ports, Apple® M series Pro, Max, and Ultra Mac computers, and AMD-based Windows laptop computers with USB4® ports. The adapter incorporates a captive cable with a Thunderbolt connector that connects to a compatible computer’s Thunderbolt or USB4 port for bus-powered operation.

What It Does:
The Sonnet Thunderbolt Dual HDMI 2.1 Adapter is a plug-and-play solution that enables users to connect two up to 4K 120Hz displays (Windows) or two 4K 60Hz HDMI displays (Mac) to a single port on their computers. This adapter enables users to work and game more efficiently by expanding their computer’s workspace and play area — by opening multiple applications on their own screens, editing code or videos, or enabling games to be viewed on much larger displays.

Why It’s Important:
Many of the most popular laptop computers available now deliver great performance but restrict the number of peripherals — displays included — that can be connected. With the limited number of ports available on these computers, every connection counts. Sonnet’s bus-powered Thunderbolt Dual HDMI 2.1 Adapter enables users to connect two 4K — or lower resolution, such as 1080p — displays at once through a single Thunderbolt or USB4 port on their computer. With no software or power adapter required, the Sonnet adapter offers users a plug-and-play experience for adding display connectivity.

How It’s Distinctive:
In addition to supporting two 4K 60Hz HDMI displays with all compatible computers and two 4K 120Hz displays with newer Windows computers, the Sonnet Thunderbolt Dual HDMI 2.1 Adapter can also support one 8K 60Hz display plus one 4K 60Hz display at the same time with newer Windows computers. Additionally, this Sonnet adapter enables users to watch HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) encrypted content from streaming services (such as Netflix and Disney+) on connected displays, a capability lacking on other adapters.

When You Can Get It:
The Sonnet Thunderbolt Dual HDMI 2.1 Adapter (part number TB3-DHDMI-21) is available now from Sonnet and soon from channel partners worldwide at the suggested retail price of $99.99.
