Run Two High-bandwidth Cards at Full 6000 MB/s – Simultaneously
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.

Dual Thunderbolt 5 Interfaces
• Connect DV I/O or Other Bandwidth-hungry PCIe Cards
• Dual Thunderbolt 5 Interfaces for Maximum Bandwidth
• Full 6000 MB/s PCIe Bandwidth to Each Slot

Specially Designed to Support Maximum Performance from Two Cards
Two PCIe 4.0 Card Slots. 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 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!

Supports Thunderbolt Compatible Single-width Non-GPU Cards
Echo II DV T5 Rackmount supports Thunderbolt compatible single-width non-GPU PCIe 4.0 3.1 2.0 and 1.1 cards including video capture streaming and transcoding; SSD storage; audio DSP; multi-port 10Gb and 25Gb Ethernet; SAS or SATA host bus adapter; and
