OWC is bringing home a pair of Future's Best of Show trophies from IBC 2025, honoring the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock and the OWC Jellyfish S24. IBC is one of the world’s premier media, entertainment, and technology shows, drawing creators and broadcasters from around the globe to Amsterdam each September.

The Best of Show program is awarded by TVBEurope, a leading trade publication that covers the European broadcast and entertainment industry. Evaluated by a panel of engineers and industry experts, winners of the Best of Show awards are selected for innovation, features, value, and application in real workflows.

OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock

Launched at IBC 2025, the judges recognized the new OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock’s uniquely practical approach to modern post and live-production networking—letting creators connect to multiple high-speed networks and shared resources (NAS, NDI, Dante, video streams) over a single Thunderbolt cable, combining serious speed with real-world flexibility. The award weighs innovation, feature set, perceived value, and usefulness to the industry, and the Dock delivered across the board.

The Dual 10GbE Network Dock is a next-gen expansion hub designed for editors, colorists, audio pros, and on-set teams who are tired of juggling adapters and bottlenecked ports. With dual 10GbE, an additional 2.5GbE port, three Thunderbolt 5 ports, and four USB ports, it centralizes high-bandwidth networking and device expansion to streamline demanding workflows—from multi-camera ingest and shared editing to low-latency audio networking.
