OWC Thunderbolt 4 Hub

OWC Thunderbolt 4 Hub

The new "MUST HAVE" dock for the new Apple computers with the M1, M2, M3 or M4 processor.

More connections for a world of possibilities

For the first time ever, the OWC Thunderbolt Hub consolidates and simplifies connectivity between all your devices with all the Thunderboltports you've ever wanted. The OWC Thunderbolt Hub's three Thunderbolt (USB-C) ports and one USB port massively expand the connectivity options of your Thunderbolt 4 PC, allowing you to do more and simplify everything.

One hub for all connections

Using a single Thunderboltport on your PC, this compact hub lets you connect and charge virtually anything: 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. Accessories with past, present, or future USB or Thunderboltinterfaces... they all connect to the OWC Thunderbolt Hub.

New connectivity introduced

If you remove any device other than the last one in a daisy chain, your chain will be broken and the devices disconnected until the chain connection is re-established. The OWC Thunderbolt Hub lets you create three separate "tree branch" chains, allowing you to remove devices from one chain without affecting or disconnecting the others. You can even add three Thunderbolt bus-powered devices.

Multiple drive

In the past, when daisy-chaining external storage devices, it was necessary to place them as close to the beginning of the chain as possible to achieve the fastest and most reliable performance. This wasn't possible with bus-powered drives, as they had to be placed last in the Thunderboltchain... and the chain was limited to only one bus-powered device! Now you can connect multiple portable SSDs directly to the OWC Thunderbolt Hub and experience the fastest speeds your storage device can deliver.

A higher vision

Thanks to its Thunderbolttechnology, the OWC Thunderbolt Hub allows you to connect to a 5K/6K/8K display or two 4K displays. Enjoy more precise and vibrant details in graphics-intensive CAD drawings and Photoshop images. Edit large-format videos on one screen while previewing the raw footage on a second. Participate in a video conference on one screen while editing content on another. Whatever your workstation display needs, the OWC Thunderbolt Hub gives you the vision to take it to the next level.

Keeps the energy flowing

Whether you're taking a short break or finished for the day, the OWC Thunderbolt Hub ensures you can continue working at full power. Regardless of whether your computer goes into sleep mode, the Thunderbolt and USB ports continue to power and/or charge connected devices.

Disconnect with one click

The OWC Dock Ejector software safely disconnects multiple drives connected to the OWC Thunderbolt Hub with a single click. Developed by OWC hardware and software engineers, the Dock Ejector ensures that all data is written before disconnecting, saving time and protecting against data loss.
