Experience sharper, smoother visuals on up to three 8K displays. With 11 versatile ports to boost your multitasking efficiency, you’ll do everything faster and easier, keep your workspace tidy, and keep your notebook charged with up to 140W of power.

Unlock Your Potential with Maximum Bandwidth

The terrific trio of Thunderbolt 5 ports aren’t just there to be an impressive spec. They’re the key to unlocking your full potential by maximizing available bandwidth in both upstream and downstream directions to your devices.

You'll say wow — or something stronger — when you transfer massive media files by connecting two USB4 CFexpress Type B card readers (each delivering up to 3330MB/s read speeds) alongside an OWC ThunderBlade X12 or an OWC Envoy Ultra with over 6000MB/s write speeds. A setup like this lets you take advantage of the incredible bandwidth of Thunderbolt 5 and use read and write speeds over 6000MB/s to dramatically reduce backup times from your media cards.

Connect up to three Thunderbolt 8K HDR monitors at 60Hz with DSC (or 30Hz without DSC) on Windows, and up to two Thunderbolt 6K displays on Macs. Now you’ll have the expansive ultra-high-resolution screen real estate you need for detailed work.

A Supporting Cast at Your Fingertips

A truly great presentation isn’t just about the featured performers. The smallest role is often the make-or-break difference to achieving critical acclaim and the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock delivers an award-winning worthy supporting cast of useful features:

• Must Have USB Ports: Connect your peripherals with two USB-A 10Gb/s ports and one USB-A 5Gb/s port. Whether it's external drives, keyboards, or mice, you’ll enjoy high-speed data transfers across the board.
• Manage Multiple Memory Cards: Quickly offload your photos and videos with the high-speed microSD and SD 4.0 UHS-II slots.
• Network Reliably Faster: The 2.5GbE port provides a stable and swift connection for remote collaborations and cloud services to ensure you won't hinder projects with slow data transfers between your local devices and unreliable internet connections.
• Record or Listen: Whether producing a hit track or podcasting to the people, your headphones or microphone easily plug into the audio jack.

Create A Tablet ProStation

While iPad Pros and other tablet computers offer awesome content creation potential, they’re handcuffed by limited internal storage, display size, and often a single Thunderbolt (USB-C) port. Instead of lugging around a bulky notebook or worse, being chained to a non-portable desktop workstation, capture what you need on the fly with a tablet. Back at a desk, transform that tablet into a “prostation” with an external display, keyboard, mouse, and external drive all connected to the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock.
