OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock Specs

This dock comes with a Thunderbolt 3 cable. It is not very long, and some users might wish to buy a separate longer cable. It also includes an external power supply and user guide. The sleek dock is 9.1 x 1.0 x 3.5 inches and weighs 1.2 pounds. A two year warranty will ensure user happiness.
