OWC Launching USB-C Dock With 11 Ports

Other World Computing, Inc. (OWC) announced the USB-C Dock.

Available for immediate pre-order, the OWC USB-C Dock provides a complete connectivity solution for the 2015 Apple MacBook and other computers that utilize USB-C ports.

Available in silver, space gray, and gold, USB-C Dock provides eleven ports and enables essential everyday peripheral connectivity. Users will be able to charge devices, connect a display, add external storage, import photos from an SD card, utilize wired GbE connections, connect their favorite audio accessories, and even power their MacBook, all through a single USB Type-C cable.

OWC USB-C Dock includes eleven ports for easy connectivity:

• Five USB 3.1 Generation 1 ports, including: two USB Type-A ports for fast mobile device charging, two USB Type-A ports, and one USB Type-C port.

• One GbE port adds high-speed wired networking support for use when speed and stability are essential.

• One HDMI port provides connectivity for an external display, including support up to 4K resolution.

• One Secure Digital (SD) card reader to easily transfer photos, video or other content from an SD card.

• Two audio ports, including audio in and audio out.

• One USB-C port for connecting the MacBook or other USB-C-enabled host machine.

Power for your MacBook.
Included with every USB-C Dock is an 80W power adapter. This is in contrast to other dock solutions relying on the power adapter that ships with the MacBook, resulting in insufficient and unreliable power for many bus-powered USB peripherals. The included adapter shipping with the USB-C Dock is capable of powering not only the MacBook but also all of the USB peripherals users will directly attach. As an added benefit, users can keep the original MacBook 29W power supply in their bag for when they are on the go.

‘…puts all other docks to shame.’
USB-C Dock has been developed by the same design team that developed the company’s Thunderbolt2 Dock.

“The OWC USB-C Dock is at the cutting edge of technology and design, giving our customers the absolute most from their new MacBook with eleven high-performance ports and an impressive 80 watts of power,” said Larry O’Connor, founder and CEO, OWC. “USB 3.1 is an exciting new standard of connectivity, and I am very excited that OWC continues to deliver innovative solutions at the forefront of possibility, just like the all-new OWC USB-C Dock.“

The USB-C Dock is available for pre-order. Delivery of the dock is scheduled for the fall of 2015. Its is priced at $129.00 for a limited time during the pre-order period.
