Connect Thunderbolt the OWC Thunderbolt Dock's Thunderbolt . Two 4K displays or one 5K/6K/8K display, high-performance storage (including NVMe solutions), A/V mixers, phones or tablets, even desktop accessories like a keyboard or mouse—they're all fair game. Any accessory with past, present, or future USB or Thunderbolt interfaces... they all connect to the OWC Thunderbolt Dock.
Enhanced connectivity through improved compatibility:
When the latest Thunderbolt appeared on Macs and PCs, it used a USB-C connector to transfer data, output video, and charge devices over the same cable. The Thunderbolt Thunderbolt 4 ports utilize that same USB-C connector to create a multi-connectivity solution for millions of existing and future Thunderbolt computers and devices. Furthermore, the ports are fully USB4-compatible.

Connectivity reinterpreted 

If you remove any device other than the last one in a daisy chain, your chain will be broken and all devices will become unusable until the chain is restored. The OWC Thunderbolt Dock lets you create three separate "tree branch" chains, allowing you to remove devices from one chain without affecting or interrupting the others. You can even add three Thunderbolt-powered devices to further expand connectivity.

Unleashed drive power

In the past, when daisy-chaining external storage devices, you had to place them near the beginning of the chain to achieve fast and reliable performance. This wasn't possible with bus-powered drives. They had to be placed last in the Thunderboltchain... and the chain was limited to a single bus-powered device! Now you can connect multiple portable SSDs directly to the OWC ThunderboltDock to experience the fastest speeds your storage device can deliver. 

Will you be wired up? 

Nothing can delay you more than slow, unreliable Wi-Fi. But you don't have to settle for a subpar connection. Simply connect the OWC ThunderboltDock's Gigabit Ethernet port to a wired network for uninterrupted downloads, fast and reliable file transfers, secure network access, and increased productivity. The OWC Thunderbolt Dock's Ethernet port facilitates collaboration and protects your valuable data, so you can complete that big team project... without worrying about your Wi-Fi connection.

SD card reader

Transferring content to your computer is essential, as creating photos and videos is now part of everyday life. Don't waste time transferring data. Transfer your creative files quickly, easily, and conveniently with the OWC Thunderbolt Dock's SD card reader. You can also use the reader like an external drive to store or back up files as needed.
