Add More Thunderbolt™ 5 Ports for More Connectivity


Possibilities and Performance Perfection
Explore a new world filled with workflow possibilities and state-of-the-art performance with the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub. It’s the perfect compact connectivity solution to solve the big problem of not having enough Thunderbolt 5 ports. Now you can turn a single cable connection from your machine into three Thunderbolt 5 ports and one USB-A port. With up to 80Gb/s of bi-directional data speed – up to 2x faster than Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 – and up to 120Gb/s for higher display bandwidth needs, you will redefine your productivity.

Bi-Directional Bandwidth Bliss
Give yourself the precious gift of more free time with the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub. Its bi-directional design means you can send AND receive data simultaneously at maximum speeds. Connect two OWC Atlas USB4 memory card readers providing 3300MB/s ingest each while backing up the cards to two high-speed SSDs like the OWC ThunderBlade or OWC Envoy Ultra while exceeding 6000MB/s. With that blissful real-world bit bandwidth, you’ll finish projects faster!

More Pixels and Power Than Ever Before
The OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub offers more than the fastest bandwidth available to transfer your data and video files. Drive up to three 8K displays with the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub’s Bandwidth Boost technology for up to 120Gb/s – up to 3x faster than Thunderbolt 4 – of intelligent bandwidth allocation for video intensive usage. Send 140W of power delivery to a demanding notebook to keep it powered and ready for mobile use. Quite simply, the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub gives you more to do more than ever before.

Maximum Speed Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Whether you have a new Thunderbolt 5 computer or device or want your connectivity to be future-proofed, the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub is the universally compatible high-performance connection solution For All Computerkind.™

Create A Tablet ProStation
While iPad Pros and other tablet computers offer awesome content creation potential, they’re handcuffed by limited internal storage, display size, and often a single Thunderbolt (USB-C) port. Instead of lugging around a bulky notebook or worse, being chained to a non-portable desktop workstation, capture what you need on the fly with a tablet. Back at a desk, transform that tablet into a “prostation” with an external display, keyboard, mouse, and external drive all connected to the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub.

Certified Satisfaction
All our Thunderbolt connectivity solutions undergo rigorous development testing processes, including intensive mandatory Thunderbolt™ certification. This hyper-focused attention to detail ensures the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub will reliably deliver the functionality you expect from your Thunderbolt and USB-C devices.

  • Mac Users: A software driver is required to enable Apple Super Drive, Apple USB Keyboard, and for charging iPad generations 1, 2 and 3. This driver is included in the OWC Dock Ejector software download package. If your SuperDrive doesn't respond when connected to an external display or USB hub, connect your SuperDrive to a USB port directly on your Mac.
  • UltraStudio Recorder 3G is not compatible with OWC Thunderbolt Hub. System Report will show the device being connected; however, the driver won’t load which doesn’t allow for use of the device. UltraStudio Recorder 3G works properly when directly connected to a system.
  • Apples's Pro 6K XDR Display is not supported. Apple recommends connecting the included Thunderbolt 3 Pro Cable (2 m) to the Thunderbolt 3 port on your display and a Thunderbolt 3 port directly on your Mac, not daisy-chained through another Thunderbolt 3 device or hub.
