Is it right for you?
Yes, if you run dual HDMI monitors and want full 140W laptop charging, 2.5Gb Ethernet, and high-speed storage without hunting for display adapters.
Probably not, if you only need a portable bus-powered travel hub or your workstation relies exclusively on native DisplayPort connectors.
Using it
Connection. Connect the included 180W power supply to the DC IN port and wall outlet, then attach the 1.0-metre Thunderbolt 5 cable between the dock and your laptop host port.
Display setup. Connect your monitors directly to HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 using standard HDMI cables. For a third display on a Thunderbolt 5 host, connect a screen to the downstream Thunderbolt 5 port.
Apple SuperDrive support. Install the free OWC Dock Ejector app to enable Apple USB SuperDrive support, full iPad charging, and single-click safe drive unmounting on macOS.
Warranty
OWC gives a 2-year limited warranty from the date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear and tear, cosmetic damage (including scratches and cracks), accidental damage and misuse are not covered.
Questions
- Can I connect two HDMI displays without any adapters?
- Yes. The dock features two native HDMI 2.1 ports built in, so standard HDMI cables connect directly to your monitors.
- Can I drive three monitors simultaneously?
- Yes. On a Thunderbolt 5 host, you can run two displays over the HDMI 2.1 ports and a third display through the downstream Thunderbolt 5 port at up to 4K @ 144Hz or 6K @ 60Hz. Thunderbolt 4 hosts support up to two displays.
- Does it charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro at full speed?
- Yes. The host port delivers up to 140W of Power Delivery, supplying maximum charging speed even under continuous high-load creative workflows.
- Can I turn the dock off without unplugging the power supply?
- Yes. The dock includes a physical on/off power button on the rear panel.
- Does it work with an Apple USB SuperDrive?
- Yes. Installing the free OWC Dock Ejector software includes the optional macOS driver required to power and run Apple SuperDrives through the dock.
- Can the dock stand vertically on my desk?
- Yes. The dock is designed to sit flat horizontally or stand vertically upright to minimise desk footprint.
