Sonnet's Echo Express SEL Thunderbolt 3 to low profile PCIe card expansion system provides a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot for computers without a PCIe slot equipped with Thunderbolt 3. The Echo Express SEL supports PCIe cards up to 6.6" long and half height, operating over the Thunderbolt connection. It features variable speed fan to cool the PCI card and the internal components of the SE.
The Echo Express SEL Thunderbolt 3 expansion system comes with 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports, which allows up to 6 Thunderbolt devices to be daisy-chained. Each of the two Thunderbolt 3 ports transmits data at speeds up to 40Gbps and offers a USB Type-C design, so you can connect the included 1.6' Thunderbolt 3 1.6' cable. A Thunderbolt 3 connector retention clip is provided to ensure the cable stays connected.

Expansion system via Thunderbolt 3 for low profile PCIe cards
Thunderbolt3 expansion box for 1 low profile PCIe slot. Allows to connect a low profile PCIe card to computers without expansion bays and featuring Thunderbolt3 port. The expansion box has a PCIe 3.0 x8 bay, so thanks to the high bandwidth of Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) you can install 16Gb and 8Gb Fibre Channel Ethernet cards, or 40Gb and 10Gb Ethernet, as well as SAS and SATA host bus adapters, RAID controllers and 4K video capture cards at high frame rates. It also supports the connection of graphics with support for 2 4K@60Hz displays or a 5K@60Hz display and support for a wide range of Thunderbolt and USB peripheral devices.
he Sonnet Echo Express SEL expansion enclosure measures only 10.16cm wide by 21.34cm long and 7.11cm high, making it ideal for use in circumstances where a single low-profile (half-height, half-length) PCIe card connection is required. Many of the most popular Thunderbolt-compatible high-speed networking and storage controller cards fit perfectly, and it can even accommodate the BlueFish 444 Epoch 4K Neutron video card and the new Blackmagic DeckLink Duo 2 Mini video capture machine. Click here to see the compatible PCIe cards full list.
The Echo Express SEL - Thunderbolt3 Edition includes two Thunderbolt3 ports; the first is used to connect the computer, while the second supports daisy-chaining up to five additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices to a single computer port. The expansion box includes support for USB 3.1 Gen2 at 10Gbps, which means you can connect a USB device to the second port using the appropriate cable or adapter. The Echo Express SEL also provides full support for connecting two 4K displays at 60Hz or one 5K display at 60Hz. For connected devices that require additional power, 15 watts is provided to connected bus-powered devices.
Constructed from robust and lightweight aluminum, the outer casing of the Echo Express SEL - Thunderbolt3 Edition securely protects the installed PCIe card. The card is also protected on the inside: the Echo SEL uses a variable-speed, temperature-controlled fan to ensure that the card and chassis components remain reliably cool. The fan automatically speeds up as needed to cool the installed card when it is hot and slows down when it is cold. Since Echo Express products automatically turn on and off with your computer, there is no power switch on the chassis, ensuring that you won't waste energy by forgetting to turn it off. The Echo Express SEL - Thunderbolt3 Edition was designed to be ultra-quiet so it can be used comfortably in noise-sensitive environments. The airflow path inside the chassis has been specially designed to allow the fan to quietly and efficiently cool the installed card at all times, even during peak operation.
