Overview
The OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock with Dual HDMI is a professional-grade docking station that turns a single Thunderbolt 5 cable into a full desktop workstation, featuring native dual HDMI 2.1 ports so dual monitors connect directly with zero adapters. One connection delivers dual displays (up to 8K@60Hz or 4K@240Hz with DSC), a full-speed downstream Thunderbolt 5 port for SSDs and RAID arrays, wired 2.5Gb Ethernet, UHS-II SD and microSD card readers, eight USB ports, a 3.5mm audio jack, and up to 140W of laptop charging. Housed in a precision-machined aluminum enclosure with passive fanless cooling, it is backward compatible with Thunderbolt 4, USB4, USB-C, and Thunderbolt 3 (Mac) hosts, and ships with a Thunderbolt 5 cable.
Key Highlights
- First Thunderbolt 5 Dock with native dual HDMI 2.1 ports — two HDMI monitors plug in directly with no adapters or compatibility guesswork
- Up to 140W laptop charging via the Thunderbolt 5 host connection even while every other port is active
- Dual display support up to dual 8K@60Hz or dual 4K@240Hz with DSC on Thunderbolt 5 hosts; a third display possible via the downstream Thunderbolt 5 or USB-C port (up to 6K@60Hz drives all three at 4K@144Hz)
- Downstream Thunderbolt 5 port runs external SSDs and RAID arrays at full rated speed (80Gbps bidirectional); plus 2.5Gb Ethernet and UHS-II SD / microSD card readers for fast media offload
- Eight USB ports (five USB-C, three USB-A) arranged two front (Dual HDMI model: 2 USB-C + 1 USB-A) and rear (3 USB-C + 2 USB-A); precision-machined aluminum enclosure keeps it cool and whisper-quiet
- Dedicated 3.5mm audio jack for headphones; full backward compatibility with Thunderbolt 4, USB4, USB-C, and Thunderbolt 3 (Mac) hosts across Mac and Windows; includes Thunderbolt 5 cable
