Max DV Performance via Thunderbolt 5
Rackmount 2-slot Dual-Thunderbolt 5 Interface to PCIe Card Expansion System for Computers with Thunderbolt or USB4 Ports

Create a Broadcast Studio in a 2U Rack Space - Simultaneously Run Two High-bandwidth Cards at Full 6000 MB/s
Do you use one of the hot new laptops or mini desktops with ultra-high-performance Thunderbolt 5 ports in your creative pro workflow? Without PCIe expansion slots, those computers' onboard processing power alone is probably not enough to get your job done. You still need the specialty cards that add needed video and audio I/O, transcode data, and connect to high-speed networks and shared storage.

Sonnet Echo II DV T5 Rackmount eliminates the limitation. This professional Thunderbolt 5 to PCIe card expansion system connects two full-length, single-width PCIe cards to your computer, each to a separate Thunderbolt port for maximum bandwidth to each card - it's the ultimate solution for connecting cards with high bandwidth requirements.

Designed for Maximum Performance: Two PCIe 4.0 Slots with Dual Thunderbolt 5 Interfaces for Double the Bandwidth
Some of the latest computers - including MacBook Pro (M4 Pro/M4 Max), Mac mini (M4 Pro), Mac Studio (M3 Ultra/M4 Max), and select Windows PCs - offer multiple Thunderbolt 5 ports, each with its own independent bus delivering 6000 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth. Echo II DV T5 Rackmount is designed to fully exploit that speed. Instead of sharing bandwidth across slots, it uses a dedicated Thunderbolt 5 interface for each slot, delivering full PCIe bandwidth to both cards at the same time. This means you can run two high-demand PCIe cards at full performance simultaneously - perfect for DV I/O, ultra-fast NVMe storage, and multi-port 10 and 25Gb Ethernet workflows.

Two Times the Bandwidth! Separate Thunderbolt 5 Interface for Each Card Slot
Echo II DV T5 provides full Thunderbolt PCIe bandwidth to each slot when connected to two computer Thunderbolt ports that also provide independent PCIe bandwidth - 6000 MB/s with Thunderbolt 5 computers, and 2880 MB/s with Thunderbolt 4 and 3 computers.

Dual Thunderbolt 5 Ports Connection Option for Maximum Performance
Connect two DV I/O or other high-bandwidth cards directly to two Thunderbolt 5 ports on your computer for full 6000 MB/s PCIe bandwidth to each card.

Single Thunderbolt Port Connection Option
Also works with computers with only one available Thunderbolt port to support two cards.

Only One Available Thunderbolt Port? Or, Does Your Computer Only Have USB4 Ports?
Daisy chain the Thunderbolt interfaces to connect two PCIe cards via one cable. Because each PCIe card slot's Thunderbolt 5 interface includes two Thunderbolt ports, you can connect the interfaces to each other to enable Echo II DV T5 Rackmount to plug in to your computer with a single Thunderbolt cable.

Performance Meets Possibility - Two PCIe 4.0 Slots and Power to Spare
Echo II DV T5 Rackmount features two x16 PCIe slots with support for a wide variety of cards. For power-hungry cards, Echo II DV T5 integrates a universal 400W power supply and includes dual 75W auxiliary power connectors (one for each card slot) for cards that require extra power, including AJA Kona 5, Blackmagic DeckLink 8K Pro G2 (with main board [SDI ports] only), and Avid Pro Tools | HDX. Designed without a power switch, Echo II DV T5 powers on and off automatically with the connected computer, saving energy in the long run. With no power switch, you can't forget to turn off the system!

Flexible PCIe Card Support - Supports Thunderbolt Compatible, Single-width, Non-GPU Cards
