Hello,

I got this laptop Dell Precision 5570 Workstation:

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/workstations-isv-certified/precision-5570-workstation/spd/precision-15-5570-laptop

https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/precision-15-5570-laptop/precision-5570-setup-and-specifications/left?guid=guid-12cd14bb-8db3-47d7-a090-15d75787517a&lang=en-us

I also got Dell HDMI/USB Type-A Adapter:

https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Type-C-Type-Adapter-Component/dp/B08YW13SG3

Is it possible to connect one more adapter like this to the same usb c port (i.e. daisy chain or use some sort of usb c splitter 1 to 2 to add it)? So I could connect two external monitors hdmi based and everything going through the one usb c port? This is the only usb c port available and it's from the left side of the laptop which is: " Thunderbolt 4 (USB4) Type-C port with Power Delivery (2)

Supports USB4 Gen 3x2, DisplayPort 1.4a and Thunderbolt 4. Enables you to connect to an external display using a display adapter. Provides data transfer rates up to 40 Gbps for USB4 Gen 3x2 Thunderbolt 4. Supports Power Delivery that enables two-way power supply between devices. Provides up to 5 V/ 3 A power output that enables faster charging."

So is it doable and how can I have two adapters connected at the same time to the same usb c port without an external power source?

Btw, on the adapter amazon page, someone asked about it in Q&A:

" Q: Can you use two of these adapters on the same computer to get a normal dual-screen setup?
A: I did that exact thing a few months ago for an event where I needed several screens. I connected two of these DA20 adapters to the two USB-C ports on my laptop and used them to connect two additional monitors (plus USB devices as well). I had a third monitor connected to the HDMI port, plus the laptop monitor, for a total of four monitors. It worked flawlessly for me. I'm getting ready to do the same thing this weekend for another event.

So based on the answer, it's possible with two separate usb c ports, but now it's basically the same question but with one usb c port?

If this is not possible, is there another hub that connects to a single usb c port that could support 2 hdmi and 2 usb a that doesn't require external power source to work like a full blown dell docker?

Thank you.
