USB/Firewire Adapters

Step Up to 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3
Sonnet designed Echo Express Thunderbolt 2-to-PCIe card expansion systems (and select Thunderbolt 2 adapters) to be easily upgraded to 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3. Simply replace the existing Thunderbolt interface board with the upgrade board, and then your chassis will instantly support higher performance, and connect to your Thunderbolt 3-equipped computer⁽²⁾ without needing an adapter.

Increased Bandwidth, Better Performance

With a Thunderbolt 3 interface card installed, your upgraded Echo Express Thunderbolt 2 system gains from 30% to 100% more bandwidth over the original system (see performance Tab for details). Installed in an upgraded system, PCIe cards with high bandwidth requirements, such as 16Gb Fibre Channel and 4K Video I/O cards supporting high frame rates, will be able to perform even better than before.

Upgrade Instead of Adapting
Why adapt when upgrading offers more? With the Thunderbolt 3 upgrade card installed you get:

Increased Bandwidth
The Thunderbolt 3 upgrade card provides increased 40Gbps bandwidth-with an adapter you are limited to Thunderbolt 2's 20Gbps bandwidth.

Optimal Thunderbolt 3 Daisy Chaining
The upgrade card supports additional Thunderbolt 3 peripheral devices in the Thunderbolt chain with 40Gbps bandwidth. With an adapter all downstream devices in the Thunderbolt chain can only be Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 devices.

Connect USB Devices

Sonnet's Thunderbolt 3 upgrade cards also include 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 support, meaning you can connect a USB device to the second port using the proper cable or adapter; they also provide full support for connecting two 4K displays @ 60Hz or one 5K display @ 60Hz.

ThunderLok™ 3-Compatible

Sonnet's Thunderbolt 3 upgrade cards support the ThunderLok 3 Thunderbolt connector retainer clip. The ThunderLok 3 (sold separately) secures the Thunderbolt cable (sold separately) to the chassis, and 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 chassis by turning a thumbscrew. Because of its unique design, ThunderLok 3 remains on the cable so it won't get lost when not in use.

Echo 5 Thunderbolt 4 Hub

Compact Universal Thunderbolt 4 Hub with Four Thunderbolt 4 Ports, Convenient Front Panel USB 3.2 Charging Port, and 8K Display Support

Mac® | Windows® | iPad Pro®

Compatible with Thunderbolt™ 4 computers; Apple® M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra Macs; Thunderbolt 3 Intel® Macs; and M1 iPad Pro with a Thunderbolt port

Thunderbolt 4 | The Highest-Bandwidth, Most Versatile Connection Available

The Thunderbolt hub you've always wanted, without paying for the extra features you don't need. A single cable powers your laptop and connects to multiple Thunderbolt and USB peripheral devices. Sonnet's Echo™ 5 Thunderbolt 4 Hub - the compact universal hub for today and tomorrow.

Directly attach three Thunderbolt peripherals - and daisy chain up to a total of 5 devices

Alternate use-attach three USB devices to Thunderbolt ports (or at the end of Thunderbolt chains)

Attach one USB device with Type A connector

Connect up to two 5K displays; or a single display up to 8K resolution!

Charge your laptop

Charge your phone or tablet

Connect to Your Peripherals and Power Your Computer with One Cable

Plug in your Thunderbolt devices, monitor(s), and USB peripherals, and then connect them all to your computer from the hub with the included Thunderbolt cable. The Echo 5 Thunderbolt 4 Hub will even power your laptop with up to 85W of charging power. When it is time to leave, just unplug the Thunderbolt cable, grab your laptop, and go.

Work. Play. | Port Multiplication- Turn One Thunderbolt Port into Three

Flexible Device Connectivity for Work and Play

Based on the Intel® Goshen Ridge controller, the Echo 5 Thunderbolt Hub features four Thunderbolt 4 ports; one for connection/power to your computer, plus three to directly connect Thunderbolt peripheral devices (and daisy chain up to a total of 5 devices). The Thunderbolt ports also support USB4 and USB 3 peripherals. For bus-powered devices, the Hub's Thunderbolt peripheral ports provide 15W per port, supporting the most demanding bus-powered Thunderbolt and USB peripherals-they can even charge your iPhone® or iPad® twice as fast as using the USB Type A port.

Versatile Thunderbolt Expansion

Perfect for Intel Macs (with Thunderbolt 3 ports), Windows computers (with Thunderbolt 4 ports), Apple® M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max Macs (with dual Thunderbolt/USB4 ports), and M1 iPad Pro® tablets with a Thunderbolt port. Connect the hub and create three separate independent Thunderbolt expansion chains. Add and disconnect devices from one chain without affecting the others.

Add Four SuperSpeed+ 10Gbps USB-C Connections to Your Mac Pro Tower, Windows PC, Linux Computer, or Thunderbolt to PCIe Card Expansion System

Equipped with SSDs, the fastest USB drives you can buy today are capable of 800 MB/s data transfers-many are bus-powered, too. But, most desktop computers (even new models) include generations-old USB interfaces that will throttle that performance and may not offer adequate power to allow bus-powered drives to operate. Break through the bottleneck-install Sonnet's Allegro™ USB-C 4-Port PCIe card to support your fast USB drives at maximum performance.

Allegro USB-C 4-Port PCIe: Up to Twice as Fast as USB 3.0 Cards

The Allegro USB-C 4-Port PCIe supports data transfers at up to twice as fast as USB 3.0, and can also deliver 7.5W of power per port to USB-C bus-powered devices.
