Compact Universal Thunderbolt 4 Hub with Four Thunderbolt 4 Ports, Convenient Front Panel USB 3.2 Charging Port, and 8K Display Support
The Thunderbolt™ hub you've always wanted without paying for the extra features you don’t need. A single cable powers your laptop and connects to multiple Thunderbolt and USB peripheral devices. Sonnet’s Echo™ 5 Thunderbolt 4 Hub – the compact universal hub for today and tomorrow. Compatible with all Thunderbolt 4 computers, all M1/M1 Pro/M1 Max Macs, all Thunderbolt 3 Macs, and iPad Pro® tablets with a Thunderbolt port.
85W Charging Power – Small Package. Big Charge.
Plug in your Thunderbolt devices, monitor(s), and USB peripherals, and then connect them all to your computer from the hub with the included Thunderbolt cable. The Echo 5 Thunderbolt 4 Hub will even power your laptop with up to 85W of charging power. When it is time to leave, just unplug the Thunderbolt cable, grab your laptop, and go.
Flexible Device Connectivity for Work and Play
Based on the Intel® Goshen Ridge controller, the Echo 5 Thunderbolt Hub features four Thunderbolt 4 ports; one for connection/power to your computer, plus three to directly connect Thunderbolt peripheral devices (and daisy chain up to a total of 5 devices). The Thunderbolt ports also support USB4 and USB 3 peripherals. For bus-powered devices, the Hub’s Thunderbolt peripheral ports provide 15W per port, supporting the most demanding bus-powered Thunderbolt and USB peripherals—they can even charge your iPhone® or iPad® twice as fast as using the USB Type A port.
