Product Description
One Cable Does Everything. Your USB4 laptop has one or two ports. At some point, you run out, or your hub can't keep up with your storage or display needs. The OWC USB4 Hub was built for that desk: data, display, and up to 81W of charging through a single USB4 connection.
Most USB-C hubs top out at 10Gb/s. USB4 laptops are capable of four times that. The OWC USB4 Hub delivers up to 40Gb/s speed, so you're not paying for a laptop that can do more and then choking it with a hub that can't keep up.
Key Features
- One Cable Desk Setup: high speed data, high resolution display output, and industry-leading charging, all through a single USB4 cable
- Blazing Fast USB4 Speed: two USB4 ports deliver up to 40Gb/s total bandwidth, so you can pull files from a card reader while backing up to an SSD at the same time
- Native HDMI 2.1 Connectivity: built-in HDMI 2.1 port for direct display connection, up to 4K@120Hz, 4K@240Hz with DSC, or 8K@60Hz, no adapters or dongles needed
- Up to 81W Host Charging: dedicated power supply delivers up to 81W through the USB4 host connection, with Smart Power Delivery handling allocation automatically
- Two 10Gb/s USB-C Ports: additional ports for drives, adapters, and accessories without slowing down your primary workflow
- Works With Everything: compatible with Thunderbolt 5/4/3, USB4, and USB-C Mac, Windows, Linux, and iPad Pro hosts and devices
- Silent and Cool by Design: fanless aluminium housing dissipates heat efficiently for quiet, throttle-free operation
The Speed You Paid For
Most USB-C hubs cap a USB4 laptop at 10Gb/s, a quarter of what the computer can offer. The OWC USB4 Hub runs at 40Gb/s, so you finally get the storage performance you deserve instead of a hub holding you back. The Realtek RTS5490 USB4 hub controller provides up to 20Gb/s to each downstream USB4 port, for up to 40Gb/s of total bandwidth across both. A single USB4 storage device connected to either port will see reduced transfer speeds compared to a direct host connection; for maximum single-device performance, a direct host connection is recommended.
Room to Grow
Two additional USB-C ports mean you always have somewhere to plug the next accessory, drive, or adapter without needing to unplug something else first.
