The OWC Thunderbolt Dock can use Thunderbolt 4 to connect to and rapidly charge recent Mac's and Windows PC's that support Thunderbolt, enabling 40 Gb/s, USB4 (20 Gb/s) or 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gb/s), USB Power Delivery and DisplayPort links between your computer and other Thunderbolt peripherals.

When connected to its own AC power supply, the OWC Thunderbolt Dock allows up to 90W power into its Thunderbolt 4 host port for charging the computer attached to the dock through USB Power Delivery 3.0. The other three Thunderbolt 4 ports can be used to link up multiple daisy chain connections while supplying 15W power for Thunderbolt / USB-C devices and drives.
