Manage additional devices: Connect more storage, up to two 4K displays or one 5K/6K/8K display, and accessories... you name it, you can use it

USB hubs offer the best way to add more functionality to a PC or notebook without many ports, and we have recommendations for almost every situation.

Triple display support available for compatible laptops. Video resolution varies and is dependent on laptop’s capabilities. Thunderbolt 4 and USB 4 are easy to confuse, not least because both offer the same USB-C connector and the same maximum data transmission performance (40Gbps). Though USB 4 can only send at this rate over 1 meter, half that of Thunderbolt 4. USB 4 is even based on the Thunderbolt protocol, but the two are not the same. They're just very similar.

More reliable sharing and streaming: Gigabit Ethernet eliminates low-quality, patchy Wi-Fi — ideal for IP-based workflows and secured networks The minimum requirements for USB 4 are much lower at 20Gbps, while Thunderbolt 4 is at 32Gbps. Likewise, the minimum power requirements for Thunderbolt 4 are double those of USB 4 at 15W versus 7.5W. Up to 96W power deliver/charging to connected host. USB port provides up to 1.5A of power for bus powered drives and device charging. Thunderbolt 4 ports for device connection provide up to 15W of power. ports include SD Card Reader, Audio In/Out, USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 port with PD 3.0 , 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports, 2x HDMI 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 2X USB-A 3.1 ports, and 2X USB-A 2.0 portsOWC is passionate about sustainability and is walking its talk. Here’s just some of the projects OWC participates in.

We've tested the best cables, hubs, and dongles to help you connect your all your peripherals to your new laptop, even if it has only USB-C ports. Ethernet: We verified the connection speed in Network Utility on a Mac, which displays the link speed. Access all the power and speed you’ll need for work, play, streaming, and more — even while connected to multiple peripherals and devices — all through a single cable connection. Actual display support varies upon computer specifications. Supported Intel-based Mac models and Thunderbolt 4 PCs support two displays over Thunderbolt. The following Apple M1 (Apple Silicon) Mac models support a single display over Thunderbolt:Reinvent the chain: Create multiple independent “tree branches” and connect multiple bus-powered devices. All the Thunderbolt you’ve always wanted: Add more speed and more fully functional Thunderbolt ports to your computer
