CES/Pepcom: OWC Demos Upcoming Thunderbolt 5 Solutions

Other World Computing (OWC) demonstrated 3 Thunderbolt 5 devices at CES and Pepcom – 2 multiport docks and a bus-powered portable storage solution – all powered by the latest Thunderbolt technology from Intel Corp.

For over a decade, the company has led the way in creating iThunderbolt solutions and that tradition continues with solutions designed to harness the fast data transfer rates and high-resolution display support of Thunderbolt 5. The new docking and storage solutions will become the focal point for user’s computer setups and workflows.

“We’ve been at the forefront, embracing new Thunderbolt technologies early on, and take pride in providing the most extensive range of Thunderbolt solutions globally,” said Larry O’Connor, founder and CEO. “Introducing Thunderbolt 5 to our customers is an exciting venture, enabling us to create even more innovative products.“

These new products leverage the innovations of Thunderbolt 5 technology from Intel. Users benefit from double the bandwidth for connected devices, achieving data transfer rates of up to 80Gb/s. Enhanced by Bandwidth Boost, display possibilities expand up to 120Gb, providing ample bandwidth to stream to multiple 8K displays or 3x4K displays running at 144Hz. Thunderbolt 5 also delivers up to 240W of available charging power to connect devices – all through a single, flippable, reversible cable.

“Thunderbolt 5 will provide creators and gamers the industry leading performance and capability for connecting PCs to accessories that they demand,” said Jason Ziller, GM, client connectivity division, Intel. “The innovative new docking and storage solutions displayed by OWC at CES showcase how Thunderbolt 5 will revolutionize the way users approach their work.”
