OWC Thunderbolt Hub

Massively expand your connectivity: Add More Thunderbolt™ Ports + Works with USB-C Machines Too!

More Thunderbolt. More USB-C. Simple.

We heard you loud and clear. You simply want to add more universally compatible Thunderbolt (USB-C) ports to your Mac, PC, iPad, or dock so you can connect more devices and create an expanded workflow that is as unique as your imagination.

Connect more storage, displays, and accessories. Create independent daisy chains. And do it all while charging your notebook. With the OWC Thunderbolt Hub, you can massively increase your productivity and connectivity while enjoying the same performance of your Thunderbolt and USB-C devices as if you had plugged them directly into your machine. In short, you get everything you want without compromise or unnecessary features.

More (way more!) Than the Average Hub

The average cheap bus-powered hub doesn’t have the all-important 3P’s of the OWC Thunderbolt Hub: Power, Performance and Possibilities. Plug in a Thunderbolt external drive, and you’ll get Thunderbolt speeds. Plug in a 6K XDR monitor, and you’ll get full resolution. Plug in a USB-C bus-powered drive, and it will work flawlessly. Try all that with any other hub, and like the chart shows below, your use possibilities are severely limited.

Works with Millions of Computers and Devices

See those ports? Yeah, they all use a USB-C connector. Which means you never have to worry or wonder about if the OWC Thunderbolt Hub will work with your Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, or USB4 machine or device. It’s the perfect hub to simply provide all your C-to-C connectivity needs with 100% compatibility.

A Resolutionary Idea

Whether your computer or tablet is sporting the latest technology or is a few years loved, the OWC Thunderbolt Dock gives you multiple options to expand your visual horizons:

Single and Dual Display Support

• See Apple Studio Display specs for detailed Mac model support.
• See Apple Pro Display XDR specs for detailed Mac model support.

3. OWC highly recommends that you verify the display support for your specific Mac model:

• Identify your MacBook Pro model
• Identify your MacBook Air model
• Identify your Mac mini model
• Identify your iMac model
• Identify your Mac Studio model
• Identify your Mac Pro model

4. OWC highly recommends that you verify the display support for your specific iPad model:

• Identify your MacBook Pro model

5. OWC recommends that you verify the display support for your PC's Thunderbolt port. Some refresh rates require DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3 and DSC 1.2 support from the display and the host. Not all Thunderbolt ports support DisplayPort 1.4 – some are limited to DisplayPort 1.2, which may reduce refresh rate or resolution support.
