Give your Mac new life with Thunderbolt (USB-C) displays, external storage, and other devices.1 Connect to USB-A and USB-C devices, wired networks, and audio input/output. Import files, video, and photos from SD and micro SD Cards. Make any shared desktop workspace instantly feel like home.
Welcome to your new world of connectivity.
Connect. Work. Disconnect. Go.
The days of only working at your desk are gone. We're always on the move bouncing between our desks, meetings, and couches — often in a hurry. With a single connection to your notebook computer, the OWC Thunderbolt 2 Dock Solution makes coming back to your desk to work, or leaving your desk to run to a meeting, a much quicker endeavor.
The Right Ports.
Right Where You Need Them.
Our engineers evaluated thousands of possibilities in discovering the optimal port configuration for nearly any environment. With its 14 ports of connectivity thoughtfully placed, the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock delivers convenience while keeping desktops clutter-free. The docking station's front is designed for the easy connection of your portable devices, headphones and media cards, while the rear features a multitude of ports for your static devices so cables stay out of sight.
Thunderbolt (USB-C) Power
Thunderbolt (USB-C) is the most advanced and versatile interface available. So we've harnessed its power with the OWC Thunderbolt 2 Dock Solution to provide the highest speed and most connection options. Connect your Thunderbolt 2/Thunderbolt Mac to the dock's main Thunderbolt (USB-C) port via the included Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter, and use the secondary Thunderbolt (USB-C) port for Thunderbolt device chaining, USB 3.2 connectivity, display support, and more.
In the future, when you're ready to connect the dock to a Thunderbolt (USB-C) Mac, PC, iPad, Chromebook, or other host computer, the dock's Thunderbolt (USB-C) host port will provide up to 85W of charging power with one cable. Keep your computer or device powered up and ready for mobile use without tying up a valuable Thunderbolt port with a power adapter.1
USB Connections That Matter
The OWC Thunderbolt 2 Dock Solution moves you into the future without leaving the past behind by including two USB Type-C (10Gb/s) ports2 as well as five USB Type-A (5Gb/s) ports, with one of each located conveniently on the front. Whether connecting your printers, storage and keyboards via USB-A or the latest mobile devices and portable SSDs via USB-C, the OWC Thunderbolt 2 Dock Solution has room for all of your gear.
Wired for Speed, Security
The Gigabit Ethernet port brings access to high-speed, reliable and secure wired networks back to your notebook, giving you the fast data transfers and peace of mind that only come with a hardwired connection. Gigabit Ethernet provides a fast 1000Mb/s connection vs. slower 600Mb/s 802.11n or 48Mb/s 802.11g wireless standards. And for those in need of an even faster connection can utilize the OWC Thunderbolt 3 10G Ethernet Adapter for an up to 10X performance increase over the Gigabit Ethernet.
Music to Your Ears and Everyone Else's
Plug your headphones and mic into the front output/input jack to listen to your music and podcasts, and connect your audio systems into the rear optical S/PDIF port to fill a room with pristine sound.
Multiple Displays, Multiple Types
Screen real estate is a must. One display is no longer enough for office workers, gamers or students, let alone creative professionals. By providing display support via both the Mini DisplayPort and secondary Thunderbolt (USB-C) connection, the OWC Thunderbolt 2 Dock Solution can more than triple your screen space by driving two displays with up to 4K resolution or a single 5K display.
Disconnect in One Click
Safely disconnect multiple drives in a single click. OWC Dock Ejector was designed by OWC hardware and software engineers to ensure all data is written before disconnection, saving time and protecting against data loss. It makes losing your hard-earned work a thing of the past.
Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter Included

Attach Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 external drives, docks, PCIe expansions chassis, and more.

- If you're connecting the Thunderbolt 3 Dock to an older Thunderbolt (mDP) Mac – Connect the adapter to the Thunderbolt (USB-C) host port on the Thunderbolt 3 Dock, then use a Thunderbolt 2 Cable between the adapter and your Mac.
- If you're connecting the Thunderbolt 3 Dock to an older Thunderbolt (mDP) device – Connect the adapter to one of the available Thunderbolt (USB-C) ports on the dock, then use a Thunderbolt 2 Cable between the adapter and your older Thunderbolt device.
Thunderbolt (USB-C) Cable Included
OWC Thunderbolt 2 Dock Solution comes with a certified 0.7M OWC Thunderbolt (USB-C) Cable. But if your workflow demands a different length to make the connection, OWC Thunderbolt (USB-C) Cables are the perfect choice.
Work with Ultimate Confidence
Active workspaces expose gear to unexpected bumps and shoves. OWC ClingOn custom cable stabilizers (sold separately) screw into the OWC Dock or OWC Drive housing to reduce – if not completely eliminate – cable strain on Thunderbolt and USB-C connections so you can work with ultimate confidence even in the highest foot traffic environments.

Customer Reviews

This dock is solidly built with multiple ports that are easy to access. It works well, and is fast enough to be useful for your docking purposes. My constructive criticism is that most of the ports on the back of the unit are USB A type, which means the underlying design may be getting a bit dated for the increasing use of USB C to C type ports. So, you'll need type A to C adapter cables in most cases to hook up peripheral units.
I would recommend this product to a friend!
Verified Purchase.- Reviewer:GareyCooper
Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you find our dock solidly built and easy to use. Your insights about the USB A ports are really valuable, and we appreciate your constructive criticism. We're always looking to improve our products based on customer needs, so your input is invaluable! Excited to continue providing you with great products!
I bought this item to help with external drives constantly ejecting on their own. Using a powered hub with multiple ports to handle the many drives I keep connected is what it provided for me and solved my problem!
I would recommend this product to a friend!
Verified Purchase.- Reviewer:RM1396505829
Thank you so much for the fantastic 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that our product helped solve your issue with external drives. It’s great to know that the powered hub is working perfectly for your setup and keeping everything connected smoothly. We appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy using it!
Honestly, it was a great idea buying this device. It does everything I needed to do. The only thing that keeps me from giving it a five star rating is that the USB-C Isn’t as powerful as I imagined. Nevertheless, it is a great device and will be purchasing more items from OWC again.
I would recommend this product to a friend!
