OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock with Dual HDMI – Two Screens, Zero Adapters

Plenty of laptops ship without a single HDMI port, while most office, edit-suite and client monitors still expect one. The OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock with Dual HDMI puts two HDMI 2.1 outputs, each on its own controller, behind one Thunderbolt 5 cable, together with 2.5GbE, SD and microSD UHS-II, eight USB ports and up to 140 W of laptop charging.

Key Features

• Dual native HDMI 2.1: Each port runs on a dedicated controller, so two monitors never fight over bandwidth; up to two 8K 60 Hz or two 4K 240 Hz screens on a Thunderbolt 5 host.
• Third display option: The downstream Thunderbolt 5 port drives a third screen at up to 6K 60 Hz or 4K 144 Hz alongside both HDMI monitors.
• Full-speed storage port: Downstream Thunderbolt 5 at up to 80Gb/s with 30 W for bus-powered SSDs and RAID enclosures.
• 140 W host charging: Keeps a MacBook Pro or high-end Windows laptop charged even with both displays, storage and network running.
• Card readers on the front: SD 4.0 UHS-II and microSD UHS-II slots for camera and drone footage, no separate reader needed.
• Stands flat or upright: Lay it next to the keyboard or stand it vertically to save desk space.

Customer Benefits

One cable brings the whole desk to life: two HDMI displays, wired 2.5GbE for NAS work, a full-speed Thunderbolt 5 port for fast storage, card offload, audio and charging. Editors and producers can plug a client monitor and a timeline screen straight in without DisplayPort converters, and the laptop stays topped up through long sessions. OWC Dock Ejector unmounts every connected drive with one click before you leave.
