Sonnet Echo III Rackmount 19″ 3xPCIe do TB3
is a system of expanding Thunderbolt 3 ports to 3 PCIe cards that can be mounted in a 19-inch rack. Sonnet Echo III Rackmount allows you to connect up to three full-height and full-length PCIe cards (up to 30.8 cm) to any computer with a Thunderbolt 3 port. It is the fastest and most efficient solution using the full specificity of the Thunderbolt 3 port.
MacBook Pro, Mac Mini or Windows notebooks equipped with a Thunderbolt 3 port offer sufficient computing power for many advanced users, such as programmers, graphic designers, architects and musicians. However, high power alone is sometimes not enough for advanced graphics processing, data processing or working with music files. Specialized cards are also needed, often available only in the PCIe standard.
The Soncho Echo III Rackmount is a rackmount (19") Thunderbolt™ 3 to PCIe expansion system that allows you to simultaneously connect three professional PCIe cards to any computer with Thunderbolt 3 ports.
Connection via Thunderbolt 3 port
Sonnet Echo III Rackmount is an external expansion system with three professional PCIe cards (video capture; DSP audio; SAS or SATA 6 Gb or 12 Gb host bus adapter; Ethernet 10 Gb, 25 Gb or 40 Gb; RAID controllers; and other advanced cards in PCIe standard) connecting them to the computer using a single Thunderbolt 3 cable.
The Sonnet Echo III Rackmount is large enough to support almost any Thunderbolt 3-compatible card available on the market.
With three x8 slots, the Sonnet Echo III Rackmount supports PCIe 3.0, PCIe 2.0 and PCIe 1.1 cards with a full length of up to 30.8 cm and full height. The system does not support GPU cards.
The aluminum case will accommodate three single-width cards or one single-wide card plus one double-wide card.
Some specialty cards, such as HDSPe MADI FX RME, DeckLink 4K Extreme by Blackmagic Design, and Lynx AES16e 50, include a daughter card that works with the main card and provides additional external connections. Such cards are also compatible with the Echo III Rackmount.
Additionally, the Echo III Rackmount includes an auxiliary PCIe power connector, allowing you to install a card that requires additional power, such as the AJA® Kona® 5 or Blackmagic DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G, and Epoch and KRONOS SDI Bluefish444 cards.
1. Three PCIe x8 ports
2. 6-Pin power port
The fastest Thunderbolt 3 external interface available
Sonnet Echo III Rackmount features a Thunderbolt 3 40Gb/s interface, which offers twice the PCIe bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2 connectivity and also delivers up to 2,750 MB/s of bandwidth, enabling support for 4K video capture and processing cards at high frame rates . It supports 16Gb FC card and dual 10GbE ports at full performance.
Sonnet Echo III Rackmount has an advanced, quiet and efficient cooling system. This ensures stable and comfortable operation.
