Which host devices natively support the multi-monitor function?

Windows computers with DP Alt Mode over USB-C provide native MST support and enable dual-display output.

What cable length and construction reduce connector strain?

The hub uses a built-in 30cm cable to extend reach and minimise stress on USB-C ports.

How does graphics performance depend on the host system?

Dual 5K60 output requires discrete GPUs or 12th generation-and-up Intel processors with DP1.4 and DSC
other configurations vary by GPU capability.

Is additional power delivery supported through the connection?

The device is bus-powered and does not provide PD pass-through.
