The new slate of Thunderbolt 5 hubs are arriving and one of our favorite brands in the space has now unleashed its latest. The OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub was showcased at CES 2025 this year and is now ready to expand your Thunderbolt 5 I/O capabilities alongside power passthrough action and additional monitor support. Now available for purchase on Amazon and directly from OWC, get a closer look and more details on the brand’s new Thunderbolt 5 Hub below.
New OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub
Thunderbolt 5 options in the hub category are still relatively thin, but OWC’s latest model is now hitting the scene. The relatively modest solution (or at least modest for a respected brand like OWC that delivers some of the best and most robust storage and hub solutions on the market in my opinion) lands with a four-port setup consisting of three Thunderbolt 5 ports and a USB-A connection.
All packed within a fan-less aluminum enclosure, the brand says its Thunderbolt ports delivers up to 80Gb/s of bi-directional data speed – “up to 2x faster than Thunderbolt 4 and USB4” – as well as “up to 120Gb/s for higher display bandwidth needs.” It works with “Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4, or USB-C machines or devices” as well for the record.
Explore a new world filled with workflow possibilities and state-of-the-art performance with the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub. It’s the perfect compact connectivity solution to solve the big problem of not having enough Thunderbolt 5 ports. Now you can turn a single cable connection from your machine into three Thunderbolt 5 ports and one USB-A port.
That’s some solid data movement there, but what about power? OWC says its latest Thunderbolt 5 hub can “safely delivers up to 140 watts to charge the most power-hungry notebook computer” while also being able to “connect to the latest and future Thunderbolt, USB-C, and DisplayPort displays for incredible 4K, 5K, 6K, and up to three 8K displays.”
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 – of intelligent bandwidth allocation for video intensive usage. Send 140W of power delivery to a demanding notebook to keep it powered and ready for mobile use. Quite simply, the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub gives you more to do more than ever before.
The new OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub is now available for purchase $189.99 via Amazon and the official OWC site.
