OWC has announced its new Thunderbolt 5 Hub, which looks to be a good option to solve the current problem of not having enough Thunderbolt 5 ports on the new M4 Macs. With the Hub, you can turn a single cable connection from your machine into three Thunderbolt 5 ports and one USB-A port.
It features up to 80Gb/s of bi-directional data speed, which is up to 2x faster than Thunderbolt 4 and USB4, and up to 120Gb/s for higher display bandwidth needs.
Its bi-directional design means you can send and receive data simultaneously at maximum speeds. Connect two OWC Atlas USB4 CFexpress 4.0 Type B 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.
The OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub can 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. You can also send 140W of power delivery to a laptop.
Price & Availability
The OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub is available to pre-order for $189.99 USD.
