The Port-Starved Professional's Solution
Modern laptops give you incredible power but cripple you with limitations. Connecting a mouse means removing your external drive. Charging your phone forces you to disconnect your display adapter. The Thunderbolt 3 mini Dock ends this constant juggling act by transforming your single Thunderbolt port into five essential connections. Set up dual 4K displays for serious work, plug in a wired network for reliable internet, and connect all your peripherals simultaneously. Finally, your laptop works as hard as you do.
From Cramped to Commanding in Seconds
Stop squinting at spreadsheets on a 13" screen. The Mini Dock's dual 4K display support turns any workspace into a productivity powerhouse. Edit video on one screen while monitoring timeline playback on another. Compare documents side-by-side without endless window switching. See the complete picture of your work instead of hunting through tabs.
With pristine 60Hz refresh rates and multi-channel audio support, everything looks sharp and sounds professional whether you're presenting to clients or streaming content.
Connections Are The Key To Success
Through its USB 3 and USB 2 ports, the OWC Thunderbolt mini Dock opens up a world of convenience and functionality wherever you work. Control your workspace with the ease of a full-sized keyboard or mouse. Back up work to an external drive. Import files from a flash drive, card reader, or optical drive. Send files to a printer. Charge up small mobile devices. With extra connections, it’s easy to keep up with your potential.
Stream, Share, And Connect Faster, More Reliably
Truly a must have for mobile professionals, the OWC Thunderbolt mini Dock offers a Gigabit Ethernet port for a faster, more reliable internet connection. Enjoy a speedy server connection, uninterrupted downloads, and reliable file transfers while saying goodbye to aggravatingly low-quality Wi-Fi connections.
Be At Your Best Anywhere
Even with its huge workflow benefits, the OWC Thunderbolt mini Dock is small enough to fit discreetly on your desktop or inside a gear bag for mobile use. The lightweight, bus-powered aluminum housing and its 7.2-inch tethered Thunderbolt 3 cable eliminate the typical dock’s separate connection cable and power adapter. Nothing to lose or forget, no agonizing over which device to disconnect from your port-limited machine, no extra bulk...the OWC Thunderbolt mini Dock truly lets you work at your best anywhere.
