OWC USB4 Hub

About: OWC USB4 Hub

OWC USB4 Hub is a 6-port USB4 essential connectivity solution with two USB4 downstream ports, two USB-C ports, an HDMI 2.1 display output, and up to 81W of laptop charging through a single USB4 cable. Works with Mac, Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS laptops, and iPad Pro. Compatible with Thunderbolt 4/5, and USB4 devices.

• One Cable Does Everything: Data, display, and up to 81W charging through a single USB4 connection.
• 4x Faster Than Standard Hubs: 40Gb/s speed blows away typical 10Gb/s USB-C hubs
• Native HDMI 2.1: Connect a display directly. No adapter, no dongle, no compatibility guesswork.
• Up to 81W Charging: More power delivery than most hubs in this category
• Works with Almost Anything: Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, and iPad Pro all connect without requiring Thunderbolt.

Full USB4 Speed. For the Desk Setup You Actually Use.

Most USB-C hubs cap your laptop at 10Gb/s. Your USB4 laptop is built for four times that. OWC USB4 Hub runs at the full 40Gb/s your hardware is already capable of, so you finally get the performance you paid for instead of a hub holding you back.

Two fast drives running at once instead of waiting in line for an open port. A monitor that just lights up the second you plug it in. A laptop that stays charged without a second brick cluttering your desk. One USB4 cable, everything live, nothing slowing you down.

• Two Fast Ports for Storage: Connect USB4 and Thunderbolt-compatible drives or card readers to the two USB4 ports for simultaneous use.
• Built for Any USB4 Platform: Works across Mac, Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS laptops, plus iPad Pro.
• Display Without the Adapter Stack: HDMI 2.1 is built directly into OWC USB4 Hub. Your monitor plugs straight in.
• Quiet, Cool, All-Day Reliability: Fanless aluminum housing dissipates heat efficiently, so OWC USB4 Hub runs continuously without throttling.
• Charge While You Work: Up to 81W of Power Delivery keeps your laptop charged through the same cable carrying your data and display.
• Smart Power Delivery: Power negotiation between your laptop and connected devices happens automatically.
• Room for More Peripherals: Easily handle drives, adapters, and accessories with two USB-C ports.
• Secure Cable Connections: Compatible with OWC ClingOn cable stabilizers to reduce cable strain at a busy desk.

Made for Your Desk

Photographers, editors, multi-drive workflows, or just a laptop that ran out of ports. If you sit at a desk and need more from your USB4 connection, OWC USB4 Hub is built for you.

• The shoot is done. The card is in. You're editing: Pull footage off a card reader while an SSD backs up your archive at the same time.
• You need a second screen, not a second cable: HDMI 2.1 plugs your monitor in directly. No dongle hunting before a meeting.
• Your laptop stays charged without a second brick: Up to 81W flows through the same cable as your data and display.
• You added an accessory and it just worked: Two USB-C ports are there for the adapter, the second drive, or whatever shows up that you didn't plan for.

Disconnect In One Click

Safely disconnect multiple drives in a single click. OWC Dock Ejector was designed by OWC hardware and software engineers to ensure all data is written before disconnection, saving time and protecting against data loss. It makes losing your hard-earned work a thing of the past.

OWC USB-C (40Gb/s) Cable Included

OWC USB4 Hub comes with a 0.8M (31") OWC USB-C (40Gb/s) Cable. But if your workflow demands a different length to make the connection, OWC USB4 Active Optical Cables are the perfect choice.
