Sonnet Echo Express SE I
Connect a Full-Height, Half-Length+ PCIe Card to Computers Without Expansion Slots
Are you in the market for a new computer? It's amazing how much processing power the latest ultra-light notebooks, small form factor computers, and all-in-one desktop computers pack in such small and thin enclosures. But, thinness comes with a cost-there's nowhere for you to install PCIe cards for the additional connectivity and processing capabilities beyond what's offered by a computer's standard ports. Although thin Mac® and Windows® computers with Thunderbolt™ 3 ports offer processing power to spare, for many, such as pros in the creative fields, onboard processing power alone is not enough. Fortunately, your choices are not limited to desktop workstations-think external. With the Echo Express SE I - Thunderbolt 3 Edition, Sonnet has created a solution that enables you to connect a single PCIe card outside of your computer. This compact desktop Thunderbolt 3-to-PCIe card expansion system supports one professional video capture, audio interface, 6Gb or 12Gb SAS or SATA host bus adapter, 8Gb or 16Gb Fibre Channel, 10Gb or 40Gb Ethernet, or RAID controller PCIe card, and connects it to your computer through a thin cable.The Echo Express SE I - Thunderbolt 3 Edition features 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3, which offers double the PCIe bandwidth and connectivity of Thunderbolt 2, and yields up to 2750 MB/s of bandwidth, enabling it to support 4K video capture and processing cards at high frame rates, and 16Gb FC cards and dual-port 10GbE cards at full performance. With the ability to handle the most demanding, highest performance PCIe cards, support for connecting two 4K displays @ 60Hz or one 5K display @ 60Hz, and support for a vast array of Thunderbolt and USB devices, Thunderbolt 3 is a leap forward in every way.
One PCIe 3.0 Slot and Space for a Daughter CardThe Echo Express SE I - Thunderbolt 3 Edition features an x8 PCIe slot, and supports one half-length+, full-height, single- or double-width PCIe card. Double-width? Some pro video and audio interface cards, such as Blackmagic Design's DeckLink 4K Extreme, and RME's HDSPe MADI FX card, include a daughter card that mates with and provides additional external connections to the main card. The daughter card occupies the adjacent space without filling a PCIe slot.
Thunderbolt 3 - The USB C That Does It AllThe Echo Express SE I - Thunderbolt 3 Edition includes two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports; the first connects it to your computer, while the second supports daisy chaining of up to five additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices to a single port on your computer. The SE I includes 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 support, meaning you can connect a USB device to the second port using the proper cable or adapter. The SE I also provides full support for connecting two 4K displays @ 60Hz or one 5K display@ 60Hz. For connected devices requiring extra power, 15 watts is provided to connected bus-powered devices.

Sonnet 1-Slot Thunderbolt 3 Expansion Sytem for Low-Profile PCIe Cards
Connect a Low-Profile PCIe Card to Computers Without Expansion Slots
Shopping for a new computer? Small and thin is in-the latest ultra-light notebooks, small form factor, and all-in-one desktops are slender marvels of engineering. But, thinness comes with a cost-there's nowhere to install PCIe cards that provide additional connectivity and processing capabilities beyond a computer's standard ports. Thin Mac® and Windows® computers with Thunderbolt™ 3 ports still offer tremendous processing power, but for many, such as pros in the creative fields, onboard processing power alone is not enough. Fortunately, you don't have to limit your choices to desktop workstations-think external. Sonnet's Echo Express SEL - Thunderbolt 3 Edition enables you to connect a single low-profile PCIe card outside of the computer. Through its x8 PCIe 3.0 slot, this little Thunderbolt 3-to-PCIe card expansion chassis supports many Thunderbolt-compatible 16Gb and 8Gb Fibre Channel, 40Gb and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, video capture and processing, SAS and SATA host bus adapters, and RAID controller cards.The Echo Express SEL - Thunderbolt 3 Edition features 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3, which offers double the speed and connectivity of Thunderbolt 2, and yields up to 2750 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth, enabling it to support 4K video capture and processing cards at high frame rates, and 16Gb FC cards and dual-port 10GbE cards at full performance.

Sonnet Rack Mount for Desktop Computer
Rack 'Em Up!
Mac® mini computers make sweet servers for most applications. However, integrating them into a rack poses some challenges. How do you securely mount the minis? How do you keep them cool? How do you turn them on without pulling them out of the rack? How do you plug in a thumb drive for a quick update? Sonnet's RackMac™ mini solves all these challenges and more.This fully-assembled rackmount solution supports the installation of one or two Mac® mini computers side-by-side into 1U of rack space. Constructed of rugged steel, the RackMac mini places the computers behind a smart front panel. The enclosure's design manages airflow through the computers to keep them as cool as ambient air-stack them close and stack them high for a Mac mini server farm. The RackMac mini provides a front panel power switch and front panel USB 3.0 port for each computer; built in panel-mount cables connect the ports to your computers' USB ports.

Sonnet ThunderLok 3L Thunderbolt Connector Retainer Clip (2-Pack) - Cable Retainer - 2 Pack
Secure Connections
for 1-meter Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) Active CablesThunderbolt 3 connectors are held in place by friction-which usually works fine in setups where your gear remains protected from disturbance while operating. But, if there's a chance of movement nearby, it's possible the Thunderbolt cable can be accidentally disconnected, leading to the loss of a file or an entire project. Sonnet's ThunderLok 3L Thunderbolt connector retainer clip was designed to solve this problem by preventing accidental 1-meter Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) active cable disconnections from many of Sonnet's Thunderbolt 3 products.
To use it, simply slip it over the cable connector of a 1-meter Thunderbolt 3 (40Gpbs) active cable, and then plug in the connector and secure it to the product by turning a thumbscrew. Because ThunderLok 3 doesn't attach to the connector, it stays on the cable and won't get lost when not in use.

Sonnet's ThunderLok 3L easily fastens to a 1-meter Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) active cable to ensure a secure connection to compatible Sonnet Thunderbolt 3 products. The retainer clips remains on the cable and won't get lost. -
Sonnet ThunderLok Thunderbolt Connector Retainer Clip - Cable Lock - 1 Pack
Benefit From a Secure Connection
Thunderbolt connectors are held in place by friction. While that works well in situations where equipment remains undisturbed while operating, when there's a chance of movement nearby, there's a chance the Thunderbolt cable can be unintentionally unplugged, possibly leading to loss of your work or data. To solve this problem, Sonnet designed the ThunderLok, a Thunderbolt connector retainer clip, to prevent accidental cable disconnections from many of Sonnet's current Thunderbolt products. It is easy to install and use-just slide it over one end of the cable, and then plug in the connector and secure it to the product by turning a thumbscrew. Because of its unique design, ThunderLok does not attach to the connector, but remains on the cable so it won't get lost when not in use. Sonnet already includes a single ThunderLok with many of its Thunderbolt products. Buy additional ThunderLoks to secure a downstream device's cable! Works with all known copper Thunderbolt cables. Does not work with optical Thunderbolt cables.
