The Sonnet Echo 11 Thunderbolt 4 HDMI Dock is a universal Thunderbolt 4 dock with three Thunderbolt 4 ports, one HDMI port, 2.5Gb ethernet, and 8K display support
It is compatible with Apple M series Macs; Thunderbolt 3 Intel Macs; Thunderbolt 3 or 4 Windows computers; and M series iPad Pros.
You can use the dock to connect your Thunderbolt devices, monitor(s), USB peripherals, and Ethernet cable to the dock and then link them all to your computer with a single Thunderbolt cable. The Echo 11 Thunderbolt 4 HDMI Dock will also power a laptop with up to 100W of charging power.
Featuring 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, the Echo 11 Thunderbolt 4 HDMI Dock supports 2.5 Gb/s link speed over common Cat 5e (or better) cabling when used with a compatible Ethernet switch or NAS with 2.5Gb Ethernet support, saving you the cost of another adapter. If you are connecting to a switch without 2.5Gb Ethernet support, the Sonnet dock also supports 1 Gb/s and 100 Mb/s link speeds.
The Echo 11 Thunderbolt 4 HDMI Dock features three Thunderbolt 4 ports; one for connection/power to your computer, plus two for directly connecting Thunderbolt peripheral devices. The Thunderbolt peripheral ports also support USB4 and USB 3 peripherals, and even provide 15W power each to support the most demanding bus-powered Thunderbolt and USB peripherals. This makes it a good solution for Mac and Windows computers, especially laptops with only one or two Thunderbolt ports because you can connect and charge on the same port.
The dock also features four USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) Type A ports — one on the front, three on the back — to support super-fast USB NVMe SSDs at up to full speed. And unlike some other docks, the Echo 11 ports provide up to 7.5W, ensuring bus-powered devices will operate without fail.
Depending on your computer’s video capability and whether you’ve connected a monitor to the built-in HDMI port, the Echo dock’s Thunderbolt ports can support one (always 4K, 5K or 6K, up to 8K) monitor, or up to two 6K monitors; see Tech Specs. You can plug in Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C monitors directly, or, you may connect other display types (HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.) by using a Thunderbolt-compatible adapter (sold separately).
The included SD card slot is compatible with SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards, and supports 320 MB/s read speeds with UHS-II SDXC cards to quickly offload images and video. microSD cards are also supported when used with adapters commonly included with the cards.
