NEW: Thunderbolt™ 5 Docking Stations
Sonnet will feature two new next-generation Thunderbolt™ 5 docking stations, Echo™ 20 Thunderbolt 5 SecureDock and Echo 21 Thunderbolt 5 SuperDock. The docks offer users a record number of connectivity options, comprised of three Thunderbolt 5 ports; one 10 Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) port; four 10 Gbps, 7.5-watt USB-C charging ports; one 10 Gbps 15-watt USB-C charging port; four 10 Gbps USB-A ports; one port each for HDMI and DisplayPort displays; two analog line level output jacks; one 3.5 mm microphone jack; one 3.5 mm combo audio jack, one SD 4.0 card slot, and one microSD card slot.

NEW & SHIPPING: Mac mini^® Rackmount Plus Two-Slot, Thunderbolt™ 5 PCIe^® Card Expansion
Sonnet will showcase its xMac mini (2024+)/Echo™ II DV T5, a professional 2U rackmount system that transforms Apple^® Mac mini^® computers with M4 Pro processors into expandable, high-performance production workstations.

Designed for broadcast, post-production, and high-bandwidth workflows, the system securely mounts one or two Mac mini computers alongside an Echo II DV T5 Thunderbolt 5 to PCIe card expansion module, adding two full-performance PCIe card slots via dual Thunderbolt 5 connections.

This enables simultaneous, maximum-bandwidth operation of demanding PCIe cards — including video I/O, NVMe SSD storage, and 10Gb/25Gb Ethernet adapters — delivering up to 6,000 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth per slot for uncompromised performance.

The rackmount fits standard 19-inch equipment racks and provides convenient access to front and rear Mac mini ports, making it ideal for studio, OB truck, and rack-based production environments.

NEW & SHIPPING: Mac Studio^® Rackmount Plus Two-Slot, Thunderbolt™ 5 PCIe^®
Sonnet will showcase its xMac Studio/Echo™ II DV T5 professional 3U rackmount system built to expand Apple^®Mac Studio^® computers with M3 Ultra or M4 Max processors.

Designed for high-end content creation, live production, and data-intensive workflows, the system mounts a Mac Studio computer plus an Echo II DV T5 Thunderbolt 5 to PCIe card expansion module adding two high-performance PCIe card slots connected via dual Thunderbolt 5 interfaces.

This architecture supports simultaneous full-bandwidth operation of performance-critical PCIe cards — including video capture and playback, NVMe storage, and high-speed networking — delivering up to 6,000 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth per slot.

NEW & SHIPPING: Two-Slot, Dual Thunderbolt™ 5 Interface to PCIe^® Card Expansion Systems for Computers with Thunderbolt 5 Ports
Designed for the broadcast and video postproduction markets, Sonnet will showcase its Echo™ II DV T5 Desktop and Echo II DV T5 Rackmount at NAB 2026, dual-slot Thunderbolt™ 5 to PCIe® expansion systems built to support simultaneous, full-performance operation of two high-bandwidth PCIe cards.

The Echo II DV T5 systems enable maximum-performance use of bandwidth-hungry PCIe cards — such as DV I/O, NVMe SSD storage, and multiport 10Gb and 25Gb Ethernet adapters — delivering up to 6,000 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth per slot to ensure uncompromised throughput.

Echo II DV T5 Desktop is a full-size desktop chassis, ideal for workstation-based production environments, while Echo II DV T5 Rackmount features a rack-mountable 2U enclosure with space for an additional expansion module, making it well suited for studio, mobile rack, and OB truck deployments.

Now Shipping: Thunderbolt 5 eGPU
Sonnet will show its award-winning Breakaway™ Box 850 T5 Thunderbolt™ 5 eGPU for Windows^® 11 computers. Featuring a dual-port Thunderbolt 5 interface, this product offers double the PCIe^® bandwidth of any Thunderbolt 3 external GPU chassis to deliver PC-workstation-level graphics performance when used with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 5 Windows laptops and small-form-factor computers.

The chassis features an 850-watt power supply and supports a wide range of GPU cards including NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50, 40, and 30 series GPU cards and AMD Radeon RX 9000, 7000, and 6000 series GPUs- with support for triple width graphics cards. The Sonnet eGPU also includes an integrated Thunderbolt 5 dock, providing a downstream Thunderbolt 5 port, three 10Gbps USB Type A ports, and a 5Gb Ethernet port.

Thunderbolt 5 Products Sneak Peek
At NAB 2026, Sonnet will offer attendees first looks at several new Thunderbolt™ 5 products, including a multi-slot PCIe 4.0 card expansion systems, a multiport 25Gb Ethernet adapter, single- and multi-SSD 6,000 MB/s storage devices and an innovative rackmount system that can support two double-width Video I/O PCIe cards, such as the Blackmagic 8K Pro G2 plus a Mac mini, all in a 2U rack space.
