WOODSTOCK, Ill., Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Other World Computing (OWC®), a trusted leader in high-performance storage, memory, connectivity, software, and accessories that empower creative and business professionals to maximize performance, enhance reliability, and streamline workflows, today announced two important additions to its unrivaled roster of Thunderbolt™ 5 solutions: the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock with Dual HDMI, and the Thunderbolt 5 (USB-C) Cable now available in a 1.5-meter length.

With the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock with Dual HDMI one connection provides the displays, storage performance, networking, power, and connectivity of an enterprise-class desktop workstation – without the need for a pile of adapters and workarounds. Its key features include:

• No More Adapter Hunting: Two HDMI 2.1 ports built right in. Any monitor that has HDMI plugs directly into the dock with zero compatibility guesswork.
• Everything Through One Cable: A single Thunderbolt 5 connection delivers dual displays, wired networking, storage, card readers, and full laptop charging simultaneously.
• 140W Power Delivery: Keeps MacBook Pros and high-performance Windows laptops fully charged at peak performance while running the entire connected setup.
• Fast Device Charging: The front USB-C port delivers up to 30W of charging for your smartphone or tablet while you work.
• Storage without Bottlenecks: The downstream Thunderbolt 5 port runs external SSDs and RAID arrays at full rated speed. The dock will never be the slowest thing in the chain.
• Fast, Stable Wired Networking: 2.5GbE delivers the throughput needed for NAS workflows, large file transfers, and secure corporate environments.
• Pull Media Directly from Cards: UHS-II SD and microSD slots let photographers and video editors offload footage without a separate card reader.
• Built for What's Next: Supports dual HDMI displays at up to 4K 240Hz or dual 8K 60Hz with DSC on Thunderbolt 5 hosts. A third display is possible via Thunderbolt or USB-C. This dock won't become a bottleneck when you upgrade your setup.
• Works with the Whole Fleet: Compatible with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, USB4, USB-C, and Thunderbolt 3 (Mac) hosts across Mac and Windows environments.
• OWC Innergize™ Enabled: A complete health, performance, and field update management app when using OWC Atlas SD memory cards with the dock's SD memory card reader.
• Fits Your Desk, Your Way: Place it flat or stand it upright. This dock is built to support both horizontal and vertical desk placement.
• One-Click Safe Disconnect: OWC Dock Ejector unmounts every connected drive in a single click. On macOS, an included driver also enables Apple Super Drive support through the dock.

“Thunerbolt 5 gives you tremendous performance and capability. The real question is what you do with it,” said Larry O’Connor, Founder and CEO, Other World Computing (OWC). “With the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock with Dual HDMI your laptop is no longer the compromise. One connection gives you the displays, storage performance, networking, power, and connectivity of a serious desktop workstation – without the pile of adapters and workarounds. We didn’t set out to build another Thunderbolt 5 dock. We set out to build the one professionals will measure the others against.”

O’Connor added, “This addition to our dock line-up is a result of customer feedback. Our goal is to continue to ensure our customers always have a choice when it comes to picking the solution(s) that best meet their individual desktop/workflow requirements."
