I have an external USB-C hub with 2 HDMI display ports with 2 external monitors.

Can I connect my Macbook pro 13inch late 2011 somehow to this USB-C hub  as to use these 2 external monitors as extended monitors, not duplicate

I don't think so. See: 2nd Display Support.

And I don't think USB-C can be connected to Thunderbolt 2 (but to MiniDisplay it can).

that's going to be a challange, beter get a thunderbolt2 docking solution
the existing usb / usb-c docks that i know of must be DisplayLink compatible, but the DisplayLink software works best/better with higher macOS, furthermore your USB2 ports will be to sloww

most beauthiful solution would be a Apple 27" Thunderbolt display. (LED Cinema Display wil also work)

Does this mean that there is no MiniDisplay to USB-c conversion cable possible for video?

Correct.


Jouw MacBook Pro heeft Thunderbolt 1.

https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-i5-2.4-13-late-2011-unibody-thunderbolt-specs.html

Connectivity includes AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Gigabit Ethernet, a Firewire "800" port, two USB 2.0 ports, audio in/out, an SDXC card slot, and a "Thunderbolt 1" port that is backwards compatible with Mini DisplayPort and, likewise, supports an external display at 2560x1600 and passes an audio signal. Thunderbolt also supports other peripherals that use the Thunderbolt standard which provides up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth in both directions.

You can identify the version of thunderbolt from the speed of the ports:

- Speed: Up to 10 Gb/s - Thunderbolt 1
- Speed: Up to 20 Gb/s - Thunderbolt 2
- Speed: Up to 40 Gb/s - Thunderbolt 3

To get this information,

1. Select About This Mac from the Apple menu.
2. Click on System Report.
3. Click on Thunderbolt in the left sidebar.
4. Check the speed of the ports on the right hand side.

Mooie info, PUK1980!

 # smitjh: Welkom op Macfreak. Maar Nederlands is onze voertaal hier. Onthou dat voor de toekomst.
Misschien kan Google Translate je bijstaan. Vorige week heb ik nog een Nederlandstalig dossier naar het Engels dienen te vertalen. En geloof me vrij: na achteraf aftoetsen van die vertaling deed ook Google translate het zo slecht nog niet. Is in elk geval verstaanbaar. Niet geschikt voor poëzie, natuurlijk...

However, just occasionally, we may be willing to answer service calls in English, moderators willing.

1st, please tell us which USB-C dock you have precisely. Link perhaps?

You require "upward compatibility" instead of "downward compatibility". That would be an odd trick to pull off!

USB-C is just a connector. As such it may carry multiple protocols such as DisplayPort, Thunderbolt3, USB3 and charging a.o. A real Moloch, often needing active ( and uni-directional) electronics. Welcome to cable hell!

You need to interface your Macs Mini-Displayport connector to a USB-C connector on the USB-C dock you already have.
IMHO this is not possible, unless... you're willing to spend research time and money to finding the right adapter cable.

Has me flabbergasted for the moment, but fascinated enough to help you search!
You would probably need to find 1 adapter cable:
MiniDisplayport male > USB-C female.

Which seems impossible to source, sorry!
