Run Your Day Anywhere
Your office is wherever your work takes you — that day. With a single cable connection, the USB-C Travel Dock puts five essential ports at your fingertips wherever you are: on-set, on location, at the studio, or lounging at a coffee shop. In addition to USB Type-C connectivity, the OWC USB-C Travel Dock is also fully compatible with Thunderbolt 3 equipped Macs and PCs, and may be connected directly through a Thunderbolt 3 port on a computer or Thunderbolt 3 device.
Powerful Options
When you’re on the go, having power and charging options can help keep your work flowing. The USB-C Travel Dock can be used via bus power when you don’t have access to a power outlet. Or use your notebook USB-C power adapter to deliver up to 100W of pass-through power and use the open port on your computer to connect another device.
Catch Your Inspiration
Whether it’s time-lapse photography, live events, or urban exploring, the USB-C Travel Dock helps lighten your load of adapters and dongles while expanding your connectivity options. With minimal gear, you can find inspiration anywhere, download your SD card quickly, and keep capturing the moment.
Plug and Wow
It’s important to make your work — not technical issues — the focus of your meetings. The USB-C Travel Dock features an HDMI port for easy display connections up to 4K resolution, so you can plug in and focus on delivering a memorable presentation.
Is it possible to build a USB 3.1 Type C Generation 2 (10Gbps) port splitter or multiplier (or hub-dock) with many (say, 10, for instance) of such ports, as there are for USB 3.0 (5 Gbps)? That would be great!
Great question, Max. I passed this by someone in Product Development here at OWC. Here is what they had to say:
I don’t think there are USB-C 10Gbps hub chipsets yet. Generally speaking, there are only four-port USB hub chipsets. What this means is that any USB hub that offers more than four ports is really multiple USB hub chipsets chained together. It would have to be a self-powered hub to offer more than four USB ports, so it would not be bus-powered like the Travel Dock.
Thanks. Whatever the implementation (even without being bus-powered), it would be great if you could release USB 3.1 Type C Generation 2 (10Gbps) port splitters or multipliers. And the same for Thunderbolt 3.
Please, note that although it would be a great bonus, it is not strictly necessary that all connected devices work at the same time. For instance, you may have four external portable SSD connected all the time, but use manual switches to actually connect any of them (one or several) at any time.
As far as I know, there are not such products in the market, Not even 1-to-2 port splitters for them, and not even male-to-female cables or port protectors for Thunderbolt 3 (to protect Mac port when you plug & unplug many times). You will sell many of such devices for sure!
It’s great to receive product recomendations from users such as yourself. I’ll certainly pass your thoughts along to our Product Development team!
