OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock
Overview
OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock
While life is often full of compromises, your dock shouldn’t be. You should be able to move your workflow from the desktop to the road easily on short notice without having to choose what device or accessory to leave behind. Connect everything you want everywhere you call a workspace easily with the OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock. Say goodbye to a heavy, bulky power adapter slowing you down. Or a bus-powered mini dock not having the complete ports you need. Simply plug the power cable of this world’s first full-featured Thunderbolt dock with a built-in power supply into a standard outlet in coffee shops, airports, vehicles, video production carts, and more to put 11 ports of connectivity empowerment at your fingertips.
Go Connect It All
Get ahead at work and play by connecting an incredible array of past, present, and future Thunderbolt and USB devices and accessories to the Thunderbolt Go Dock. Tap into high-performance storage capacity including NVMe solutions. Record and livestream with an A/V mixer. Expand your capabilities with a PCIe expansion enclosure. Enjoy the feel of your favourite keyboard and mouse. Nearly any connectivity need you have or want is possible with a diversity of Thunderbolt and USB ports.
Turn Your Tablet into a Computer
With the Thunderbolt Go Dock, you can turn your tablet into a full computing platform with capabilities that exceed many desktop and notebook computer setups. Now you can transform one port on your tablet into 11 ports so you can read/write SD card media, share files in a blink on a high-speed network, free up your internal storage by offloading to an external drive, and work easier with a larger external display, mouse, and full-sized keyboard. You can even turn your tablet into a desktop video, audio, or podcasting recording and editing setup. The possibilities of how you can use the Thunderbolt Go Dock to redefine your tablet computing experience are nearly limitless.
A Multi-Connectivity Solution for Millions
It’s a hassle trying to figure out or remember what interface your gear and computer has so you can use it all with a dock. Whether you have a Thunderbolt or USB-C Mac, PC, iPad, Chromebook, or Android device, the Thunderbolt Go Dock’s uplink port utilises a USB-C connector to give you a multi-connectivity solution for millions of past, present, and future (yes even USB4!) computers and devices.
A Revolutionary Idea
As a digital nomad, hybrid employee, or creative production pro, you need to be able to expand your notebook’s single display – imagine…TWO 4K displays! - for maximum productivity at a temporary work location. With the Thunderbolt Go Dock’s HDMI port and Thunderbolt technology, you can view more detail and make edits easier on up to an 8K display. Edit large format video on one 4K display while previewing the raw playback on a second 4K display. Whatever your workstation display needs, the Thunderbolt Go Dock gives you the vision to go to a higher level.
2.5x Faster + MDM
Many of today’s computers and tablets either don’t provide a network port (ugh…slow low-quality Wi-Fi) or feature the older 1Gb/s standard. Now you can transfer, copy, and/or edit files and work up to 2.5x faster over wired networks and enjoy increased productivity in an IP-based workflow with the Thunderbolt Go Dock’s 2.5Gb/s Ethernet port. Or, connect to a NAS for faster data access, backup, and 4K video streaming and editing. With MDM compatibility, OWC Docks make Mobile Device Management a breeze. Remote manage Go Dock empowered workstations across your organisation. Other docks without MDM just don’t cut it.
Go Multiple
Transform a single Thunderbolt into dual Thunderbolt ports with the OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock. Take advantage of extra Thunderbolt ports to connect multiple Thunderbolt / USB-C drives, devices and SSDs to experience the fastest speed your devices can deliver. Utilise multiple daisy-chains to connect even more with your Go Dock empowered workflow.
- Go easier: built-in power supply eliminates heavy power brick hassle while enabling more workflows vs bus-powered docks
- Go everything: one dock that works with all your Thunderbolt and USB-C devices
- Go faster: enhance network-based workflows and transfer files up to 2.5x faster than standard 1GbE
- Go energised: keep your notebook travel ready with up to 90W charging power
- Go everywhere: enjoy mobile connectivity with a rugged, solid aluminium heat dissipating fanless design
