The OWC USB4 Hub runs at the full 40Gb\/s your USB4 or Thunderbolt machine already has, then splits it into two USB4 ports, two 10Gb\/s USB-C ports and an HDMI 2.1 output, while charging the laptop at up to 81 W. At Soundium we see it as the compact OWC option for fast SSDs and a big display on one cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo USB4 downstream ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40Gb\/s of shared bandwidth for NVMe SSDs, docks or a second display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDMI 2.1 built in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 8K 60 Hz or 4K 240 Hz on a compatible display, no adapter required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo front USB-C 10Gb\/s ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e For card readers, phones and everyday drives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 81 W host charging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powers the laptop through the same USB4 cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFanless aluminum housing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silent, 260 g, with a Kensington Nano security slot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCustomer Benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA USB4 laptop plugged into a 10Gb\/s hub leaves most of its bandwidth unused. Here the same single cable carries a fast external SSD at USB4 speed, an 8K or high-refresh HDMI monitor and charging, so a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Windows ultrabook or USB4 iPad Pro turns into a full desk setup in one plug. It is small enough to live behind a monitor, and it runs silent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQuick Specs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHost connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e USB4 (USB-C), 40Gb\/s, up to 81 W charging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2x USB4 (USB-C), 1x HDMI 2.1, host port, DC in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2x USB-C 10Gb\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay support:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1x 8K 60 Hz (HDMI) plus 1x 4K 240 Hz (USB4), or 2x 4K 60 Hz, host dependent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e External 100 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum, Space Gray, fanless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168 × 80 × 30 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 260 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOWC USB4 Hub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.8 m USB4 40Gb\/s cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 W external power supply with power cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOWC Dock Ejector software (download)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorks with USB4 and USB-C hosts, Thunderbolt 5 and Thunderbolt 4 computers and Thunderbolt 3 Macs; macOS 15 or later, Windows 11, iPadOS 26 on USB4 iPad Pro, ChromeOS and Linux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUse Cases \/ Ideal For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMacBook Air and ultrabook desks with one high-res monitor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEditing off a fast USB4 NVMe SSD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB4 iPad Pro setups that need HDMI and storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePros \u0026amp; Cons\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✅ Pros:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal USB4 bandwidth instead of the usual 10Gb\/s hub ceiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHDMI 2.1 without dongles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall, silent aluminum body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Cons:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe two USB4 ports share 40Gb\/s, so each gets up to 20Gb\/s when both are busy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Ethernet, card reader or USB-A ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaptop charging depends on the included external power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your laptop has USB4 and your current hub doesn't use it, this is the simplest upgrade in OWC's range.
