Other World computing will also show at CES 2026 its OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock, a powerful dock that enables users to connect to multiple high-speed networks, access blazing-fast network-attached storage (NAS), and expand device setups via a single Thunderbolt cable. Here are the key features:

• Multi-Network Versatility: Dual, fully independent 10Gb/s Ethernet ports and a front-facing 2.5Gb/s Ethernet port let you connect up to three separate networks and/or high-speed network devices simultaneously
• Extreme Throughput: Bond the 10GbE ports with link aggregation and access your NAS at up to 20Gb/s from your notebook computer
• One Simple Solution: Easily handle complex multi-network workflows, unlock high-bandwidth network storage connectivity, and expand your connectivity possibilities with this dock and included Thunderbolt 5 cable
• Workflow Transformation: Experience workstation/server-class networking from your notebook and enable workflows that were previously cumbersome or impossible
• Convenient Connectivity: Three Thunderbolt 5 and four USB 10Gb/s ports give you the flexibility to use both cutting-edge devices and legacy gear
• More Devices: Create three separate daisy chains of devices – even bus-powered – and remove devices from one chain without affecting the other chains
• Greater Visual Clarity: Enhance your efficiency with sharper details by connecting up to three 8K displays
• Quiet and Cool Operation – Via a fanless aluminum enclosure

Also showcased at the Las Vegas event, the fully certified 2-meter Thunderbolt 5 (USB-C) cable for Macs and PCs, which gives creative and business professionals a much requested long-length solution – engineered with signal amplification, precision shielding, and end-to-end signal integrity – for workflows that demand maximum speed, display performance, and power delivery, along with all the capabilities of Thunderbolt 5. The new 2-meter cable is certified by Thunderbolt and multiple independent testing labs for the full Thunderbolt 5 specification, including:

• Up to 80 Gb/s bi-directional data performance
• Up to 120 Gb/s video stream performance for multi-display, high-bandwidth workflows
• Up to 240W power delivery
• Up to three 8K displays are supported
• Fully compatible with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4, and USB-C devices

Other World Computing also debuts at the event its Strada Peer-to-Peer Collaboration Platform, resulting from a partnership with Strada, revealed in December 2025, when the media collaboration start-up co-founded by brothers Michael Cioni and Peter Cioni, announced a significant investment from Other World Computing (OWC), further accelerating the company’s product roadmap.

With Strada’s software platform, video content professionals can finally access, share, and review large video files stored on local drives anywhere in the world without being forced to upload to or rent cloud storage. The Strada team will also provide the first demonstration of its patent-pending virtual file editing technology, which enables an editor to drag remote video files directly into their local editing timeline, even in low bandwidth situations.
