Overview
The Past, Present, and Future is Yours
Three Thunderbolt ports and four USB ports empower you to connect to past, present and future devices. Up to two 4K displays or a 5K/6K/8K display, high-performance storage including NVMe SSDs, A/V mixers, phones, tablets, even desktop accessories like a keyboard or mouse. With the OWC 11-Port Thunderbolt Dock, an entire world of USB and Thunderbolt accessories is ready for you to connect and expand your capabilities.
The Connect-It-All Solution
The latest Thunderbolt interface uses a universal USB-C connector to transfer data, output video, and charge devices through the same cable. The OWC 11-Port Thunderbolt Dock’s Thunderbolt ports use that same USB-C connector to create a multi-connectivity solution for millions of existing and future Thunderbolt and USB-C computers and devices. Plus, the ports are fully USB4 future compatible.
Connectivity and Convenience
Massively expand the Thunderbolt functionality of your Apple silicon M1 or M2 Mac, any Apple 'Intel' Mac with Thunderbolt 3, or any Thunderbolt 4 PC.1 You can also use the OWC 11-Port Thunderbolt Dock with non-Thunderbolt USB-C machines like Chromebooks and iPads too. Gain convenient access to portable gear, headphones, and SD cards. Add your favorite Thunderbolt and USB devices, Gigabit Ethernet, and an SD card reader to your workflow... all while keeping your space free of cable clutter.
Plug It All In
Your devices will deliver the same compatibility as when they're plugged directly into your computer.2
Reliable Streaming + Sharing
Great for IP-based workflows and secured network access.
Reinvent the Chain
Create multiple independent “tree branches” and connect multiple bus-powered devices.
Speedy Content Transfers
Import photos and video footage quickly via the SD card reader.
Powerful
96W of power to charge your laptop + power delivery to your connected devices.1
Adjustable LED
Customize the illumination for your work setting.
More Ports = More Devices
Connect more storage, up to two 4K displays or one 5K/6K/8K display, headphones and mics, accessories... you name it, you can use it.
Securable
Features both a Kensington Security Slot and Nano Security Slot for anti-theft cabling.
Thunderbolt Certified
Built to be OWC reliable, compatible with Mac and Windows.

0.8M Thunderbolt cable. It’s in the box.
Reimagining the Daisy Chain
Daisy chains are perfect for connecting a lot of devices to a single port, but remove any device other than the last one and you're left with the hassle of disconnecting and reconnecting devices. The OWC 11-Port Thunderbolt Dock lets you create three separate “tree branch” device chains, so you can remove devices from one chain without affecting or disconnecting the others. You can even add three Thunderbolt bus-powered devices.
Plug In Multiple Bus-Powered Thunderbolt Drives
In the past, daisy chaining external Thunderbolt storage required you to place it close to the front of the chain to get fast and reliable performance. That wasn’t possible with bus-powered drives. They had to be placed last in the Thunderbolt chain as the chain was limited to just one bus-powered device. Now, you can connect multiple portable Thunderbolt drives and SSDs directly to the OWC 11-Port Thunderbolt Dock to experience the fastest speed your storage device can deliver!
SD Card Reader
Getting content to your computer is a necessity now that photo and video creation have become a part of daily life. Don’t waste time struggling with data transport. Transfer your creative files quickly, easily, and conveniently with the OWC 11-Port Thunderbolt Dock’s SD card reader. You can also use the reader like an external drive to store or backup files at will with 312MB/s of speed at your fingertips.
Get Wired
Nothing can put you behind schedule like slow, low-quality Wi-Fi. Don’t settle for a sub-par connection. Plug your wired network into the OWC 11-Port Thunderbolt Dock’s Gigabit Ethernet port for uninterrupted downloads, fast and reliable file transfers, secure network access, and increased productivity. The OWC 11-Port Thunderbolt Dock’s IP-based connection facilitates collaboration on big team projects without worrying about your Wi-Fi connection.
A Higher Vision
The OWC 11-Port Thunderbolt Dock’s technology empowers you to connect a single 5K/6K/8K display or up to two 4K displays. Enjoy more precise and vivid details in graphic-intensive CAD drawings. Attend a video meeting on one screen while editing content on another. Take your Adobe Photoshop or Affinity Photo images up a notch. Edit large format video on one display, while previewing the raw playback on the other. Whatever your workstation display needs, the OWC 11-Port Thunderbolt Dock gives you the vision to take it to the next level.4

This is my mistake. I should have looked at the product more closely. The power connection on the front is a major reason for this rating.

Thank you for your feedback, and we appreciate your honesty. We understand that sometimes product features may not align with expectations, and we're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions, comments, or concerns. https://eshop.macsales.com/Service/
So far this dock has all of the ports that I need. My biggest disappointment is having the computer connection in the front of the device and the power connection in the rear. There is nothing one can do to make it look tidy on a desktop configuration because there are cords coming out both sides. I would have preferred all permanent connections come out the back. This was not clear in the description of the product.
Verified Purchase.- Reviewer:Reviewer1950290945

Ordered 2 docks, BOTH came with no instructions!! Emailed the person that had helped with the initial order, they emailed back when the store was open, and explained how to plug in the dock correctly. Then it has worked fine.
I would recommend this product to a friend!
