Keep your notebook and tablet ready for mobile use with the Thunderbolt Go Dock's dedicated 90W power delivery Thunderbolt host port. You can also keep devices powered/charging on the other two Thunderbolt and four USB ports. Whether you're taking a break or are done for the day, the Thunderbolt Go Dock continues to power and/or charge connected devices.
Many of today's computers and tablets either don't provide a network port or feature the older 1 Gb/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 2.5 Gb/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 organization. Other docks without MDM just don't cut it.
Another "one less thing to carry" benefit for you is the built-in SD card reader. Video footage and photos are a part of daily life, and the Thunderbolt Go Dock lets you ingest your creative content conveniently fast. You can also use the reader as an external drive and store or backup files at will.
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 fast speeds your devices can deliver. Utilize multiple daisy chains to connect even more with your Go Dock-empowered workflow.
Having a built-in power supply with your Thunderbolt Go Dock keeps your life simple. With one less power brick in your desktop setup, there's less clutter for cleaner cable management. When mobile with another dock, if you lose its power brick, you are dead in the water. If you happen to misplace the Thunderbolt Go Dock's standard and common 2-prong power cord, you likely already have one you can borrow from another device or can easily stop in at a local store for a replacement and keep working.
Safely disconnect multiple drives in a single click. The 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.
OWC Dock Ejector software also includes a special driver that enables you to use an Apple SuperDrive with the Thunderbolt Go Dock. Just connect the SuperDrive to an open USB-A port on the dock for bus power to watch a DVD movie, listen to music CDs, create a backup disk, and install software.
OWC Thunderbolt Hub comes with a certified 2.6' 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.
Active workspaces expose gear to bumps, shoves, or even the random tail wag from a pet. 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 confidence even in the highest traffic environments.
