Our latest Thunderbolt 5 dock has added another industry honor to the shelf: the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock has been named a winner in Sound & Video Contractor (SVC) Magazine’s 2025 Innovative Product Awards, taking top honors in the Infrastructure category.

What makes this award especially meaningful to everyone here at OWC is who chose the winners. The SVC Innovative Product Awards celebrate the best-in-class in Pro AV and are voted on exclusively by Sound & Video Contractor readers and subscribers, the working pros who depend on this gear every day.

SVC emphasized the depth of this year’s competition—spanning everything from streaming and digital signage to power management—while calling out the strength of innovation across the Pro AV landscape. SVC also highlighted that the winning products reflect a real-world stamp of approval from both end users and industry experts.

Why this dock is a true game-changer

Modern Pro AV and content workflows increasingly live on the network—shared storage, multi-user editing, centralized asset management, remote teams, on-set DIT stations, and high-bandwidth NAS systems. The OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock was recognized by SVC for standing out as a single-cable solution that lets users connect to multiple high-speed networks, tap into blazing-fast NAS performance, and expand a full device setup through Thunderbolt.

At its core, this dock is built to serve as the foundation of serious networked AV workstations:

• Multi-network versatility: Two fully independent 10GbE ports plus a front-facing 2.5GbE port allow connections to up to three separate networks and/or high-speed network devices at the same time.
• Extreme throughput: With link aggregation, users can bond the 10GbE ports for access to NAS performance up to 20Gb/s.
• One simple solution: This dock is designed to simplify complex multi-network workflows while expanding connectivity through a single cable connection.

Built for bigger setups and cleaner desks

Networking is only half the story. AV pros need flexible I/O, display support, and reliable day-to-day usability. That’s why this dock’s design also focuses on expansion and stability:

• Three Thunderbolt 5 ports and four USB 10Gb/s ports support both cutting-edge gear and essential legacy devices.
• Build three separate daisy chains (including bus-powered devices), and even remove devices from one chain without disrupting the others.
• Support for up to three 8K displays.
• A fanless aluminum enclosure keeps the dock running silently and efficiently—ideal for studios, edit bays, and audio environments.
