How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 3-Port DisplayPort Multi-Monitor Splitter

• Power down your computer and displays before making any connections. This helps prevent accidental short circuits and ensures that the MST hub is recognized correctly when powered on.
• Connect a DisplayPort 1.2 output from your computer to the MST hub’s DP input using a high-quality DisplayPort cable. For best results, use a cable that supports 4K at 60Hz and is known to handle MST traffic reliably.
• Attach up to three DisplayPort cables from the MST hub’s three outputs to the corresponding DisplayPort inputs on each monitor. Ensure each display is powered on and set to the correct input source (DisplayPort).
• Power on your computer and monitors. In your operating system, configure the display settings to extend, duplicate, or mirror as desired. For extended desktops, arrange the displays in the correct physical order so that mouse movement corresponds to your actual setup.
• Verify resolution and refresh rate. If you’re running 4K displays, ensure the OS recognizes 4K at 60Hz where bandwidth permits. Adjust color profiles and scaling to optimize readability and color accuracy across all connected displays.
• Save or apply your configuration. If your GPU driver software offers display stacking or alignment options, use them to finalize your multi-monitor layout for quick reuse on subsequent sessions.

Frequently asked questions

• What is an MST hub, and how does it differ from a standard splitter? An MST hub uses Multi-Stream Transport to split a single DisplayPort 1.2 signal into multiple independent displays. Unlike simple splitters that mirror the same content on all outputs, an MST hub provides distinct video streams, enabling extended desktops or diverse presentations across multiple monitors.
• Can all three displays run at 4K 60Hz simultaneously? Theoretically, 4K 60Hz on every output depends on the available bandwidth and the capabilities of your graphics card. DisplayPort 1.2 has finite bandwidth, so in practice you may see 4K 60Hz on one display or adjust to lower resolutions on others if needed. Check your GPU specifications and monitor chaining to optimize performance.
• Is this device plug-and-play? Yes, in most typical configurations. The MST hub is designed for straightforward setup without requiring specialized drivers for standard display configurations. Some advanced configurations may benefit from GPU driver settings to enable MST functionality or to customize display layouts.
• Is the MST hub compatible with macOS and Linux? The device generally supports DisplayPort-enabled systems across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Functionality can depend on the specific graphics hardware and driver support, so verify compatibility with your hardware and OS version if you plan a cross-platform setup.
• Do I need external power for this MST hub? The unit is designed to be passive and may not require external power for basic operation. In setups with long cable runs or multiple high-demand displays, some configurations may benefit from external power to stabilize signal integrity and ensure consistent performance.
• What if I experience issues with color or flicker? Confirm that all connections are secure and that you are using high-quality DisplayPort cables rated for the appropriate bandwidth. Update GPU drivers if needed and verify that the displays are configured with correct refresh rates and resolutions. If problems persist, reducing the number of active displays or adjusting MST settings through the GPU control panel can help isolate the cause.
• Is this product suitable for business and education environments? Yes. With TAA compliance and robust build quality, the MST hub is well-suited for corporate offices, classrooms, and government or educational procurement where standardized, reliable multi-monitor setups support daily workflows.
