Product Description
Echo Express SE IIIe - a 3-slot Desktop Thunderbolt 3 Expansion System for PCIe Cards
Connect Three Full-height, Half-length+ PCIe Cards to Computers with Thunderbolt 3 Ports
- Connect PCIe Cards- Use multiple high-performance PCIe cards with any computer with a Thunderbolt 3 port.
- Three PCIe 3.0 x8 Slots- Supports three full-height, half-length+ (up to 7.75 inches long), single-width cards, or one double-width card plus one single-width card.
- 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 Interface- Offers 2750 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth, doubling the performance capabilities of Thunderbolt 2.
- Pro Performance. Compact Design.- Takes up little space on the desktop, but large enough to support nearly every Thunderbolt-compatible non-GPU PCIe card at full performance.
- Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports- One port connects to computer; second port supports daisy-chaining of up to five additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices.
- Remarkably Quiet- Temperature-controlled, variable-speed fan automatically and quietly cools the cards.
- Energy Saver Mode- Powers on/off automatically with the computer.
- Rugged Aluminum Housing- Provides robust and secure protection.
- Pro Power- Auxiliary PCIe power connector for a power-hungry card; daisy chain port provides up to 15W of power to connected peripherals.
Nearly Every Thunderbolt-Compatible, Non-GPU PCIe Card Supported
Smaller than the 3-slot Echo Express III-D (Thunderbolt 3 Edition), the Echo Express SE IIIe is still large enough to support nearly every Thunderbolt 3 compatible card available. With its three x8 slots, the SE IIIe supports PCIe 3.0, PCIe 2.0, and PCIe 1.1 cards up to 7.75 inches long.
Three PCIe 3.0 Slots for Demanding Professional Needs
Echo Express SE IIIe’s PCIe 3.0 x8 slots support three half-length+, full-height, single-width PCIe cards, or one single-width card plus one double-width card.
Double-Width?
Some specialty cards, such as RME’s HDSPe MADI FX, Blackmagic Design’s DeckLink 4K Extreme, and the Lynx AES16e 50, include a daughter card that mates with and provides additional external connections to the main card.
Power to Spare
Perfect for AJA Kona 5 Cards or Bluefish 444's Epoch and More!
Echo Express SE IIIe includes an auxiliary PCIe power connector, enabling you to install a card requiring extra power, such as the AJA Kona 5 or Blackmagic DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G, and Bluefish444’s Epoch and KRONOS SDI cards.
- Three PCIe 3.0 x8 slots
- 6-Pin Auxiliary Power Connector
Included at No Extra Charge Thunderbolt 3 Cable. ThunderLok 3.
Sonnet includes a Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cable that, unlike some other cables, transfers data at Thunderbolt 3’s full 2750 MB/s bandwidth, and supports up to 100W of Power Delivery (PD).
Sonnet also provides a ThunderLok 3 Thunderbolt connector retainer clip that prevents accidental cable disconnections—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 remains on the cable so it won’t get lost when not in use.
Ultra-Quiet - Perfect for Noise Sensitive Enviornments
Although thin Mac, Windows, and Linux computers with Thunderbolt 3 ports offer processing power to spare, for many users (such as pros in the creative fields) onboard processing power alone is not enough. Sonnet’s Echo Express SE IIIe is a compact, desktop Thunderbolt 3 to PCIe card expansion system that enables you to connect three professional PCIe cards at the same time to any computer with Thunderbolt 3 ports.
The Echo Express SE IIIe is designed to be ultra-quiet so that it can be comfortably used in noise-sensitive environments. Its enclosure is ventilated front and back to facilitate airflow over the cards bya large, quiet, temperature-controlled fan to efficiently cool the system. The fan automatically speeds up and slows down smoothly as needed—there’s no guesswork in deciding which fan speed to select.
