OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock

One Cable. One Dock. Complex Networking Simplified.

You can tell it's special with just one glance. Three fully independent high speed Ethernet ports. Four Thunderbolt 5 and four USB ports. The Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock is the first all-in-one solution that simplifies complex multi-network workflows and unlocks high-bandwidth network storage connectivity while offering everyday docking convenience. Whether you're handling audio production with Dante, routing 4K NDI video streams for broadcast, outputting large high-res files to NAS storage, or administering a cluster of virtual machines in the cloud, you can do it all through this one dock via a single cable connection to your Thunderbolt equipped Mac or PC. How the Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock Improves Real World Scenarios

• Live Stream / Broadcasting: Dual 10GbE ports let you dedicate one to a high-bit rate, heavy video data NDI network and the second 10GbE port to the low-latency Dante audio network each isolated on their own switches. As a result, all your video feeds and audio streams happen simultaneously and smoothly. Plus, it's all much easier because you can integrate everything with one cable and manage video switching and audio mixing on one system instead of requiring additional computers, adapters, or complex VLAN configurations.
• Professional Installers / Integrators: Modern conference rooms contain a lot of networked devices. Dual 10GbE ports let you physically separate protocols such as Dante and NDI or simply isolate network traffic for security reasons so you can connect to the corporate LAN (for internet access, Zoom/Teams calls, and general network services) with one port, while the other 10GbE port gives you an isolated AV LAN to route NDI cameras, control system, and other AV gear. Disable one NIC, change its subnet or unplug it entirely and the other won't miss a single packet. Now with a single PC and this dock, you can easily manage a complex networked AV environment with the highest security, quality, and reliability.
• 3D/VFX Rendering + Separate NAS Storage: Dual 10GbE ports let you connect to your local GPU cluster and your local NAS free of bottlenecks. When rendering files, you can tap the collective power of your local render farm to significantly speed up rendering times while simultaneously loading and storing asset files on your NAS via the second 10GbE port both with full 10 Gigabit pipelines. With lightning-fast rendering and distribution of large texture files or simulation caches to each node, you can create the 3D studio of your dreams.
• Enterprise Deployments: Dual 10GbE ports provide a myriad of possibilities in high-security or high-performance enterprise deployments. Connect this dock to your notebook and access a secured admin-only network with one 10GbE port and a DMZ network on the other. Your machine can also have a firewall VM on it that bridges between the two networks by leveraging the dock as the physical separation. A backup connectivity requirement is easily handled by one 10GbE port carrying normal traffic while the second port feeds a logging system or intrusion detection system with a mirror of the traffic.
