Thunderbolt 5

Tomorrow’s High-speed Connectivity – Today.

Performance numbers: 80 Gbps bi-directional data and up to 120 Gbps video stream performance.
Thunderbolt 5 takes external connectivity to new heights, delivering on the promise of next-level compatibility, and performance. With up to 80 Gbps of bi-directional data speed –twice as fast as Thunderbolt 4 – and up to 120 Gbps for higher display bandwidth, you’ll revolutionize your productivity. Whether you’re working with advanced graphics, highly demanding 4K+ workflows, heavy data loads, or complex computing tasks, Thunderbolt 5 has the bandwidth to handle it all.

6000 MB/s PCIe Bandwidth per Thunderbolt 5 Port
Some computers – such as the latest MacBook Pro® and Mac mini® (with M4 Pro and M4 Max), and Mac Studio® (with M4 Max and M3 Ultra) – have multiple Thunderbolt 5 ports that are supported by separate 80 Gbps Thunderbolt buses and provide up to 6000 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth through each, providing maximum performance when connected to Sonnet Echo II DV systems.

Designed to Support Peak Thunderbolt 5 Performance from Two Bandwidth-hungry PCIe Cards
Among multi-slot Thunderbolt to PCIe card expansion systems, Sonnet Echo II DV Thunderbolt 5 products are unique. Instead of using one Thunderbolt interface for two or three slots – which dynamically allocates the PCIe bandwidth between them – Echo II DV Thunderbolt 5 products include two PCIe card slots and employ one Thunderbolt interface per slot, resulting in each slot receiving Thunderbolt 5’s full PCIe bandwidth. When connected to two Thunderbolt 5 ports on your computer, Echo II DV Thunderbolt 5 products exploit two cards’ full potential performance, perfect for cards with high bandwidth requirement such as DV I/O, NVMe SSD storage, and multiport 25Gb Ethernet adapters.

Echo II DV Thunderbolt 5 Module

2-slot Thunderbolt 5 to PCIe card expansion module

The heart of all Echo II DV Thunderbolt 5 products, this module features two x16 PCIe 4.0 slots; accommodates up-to full-height, full-length (up to 12.28 inches long) PCIe cards; and connects them to your computer’s Thunderbolt ports via two included Thunderbolt 5 (120 Gbps) cables. The module integrates two ultra-quiet fans, plus a universal 400W power supply and two 75W auxiliary power connectors for non-GPU cards that require extra power. This module is compatible in all recent Sonnet modular expansion system enclosures.
