Product Description
Sonnet xMac Mini (2024+) with Echo II DV T5 – 2U Rackmount Thunderbolt 5 PCIe Expansion System
The Sonnet xMac Mini (2024+) with Echo II DV T5 is a professional 2U rackmount solution designed to integrate your Mac Mini 2024+ into a rack environment while adding powerful Thunderbolt 5 PCIe expansion. Built for broadcast, production, post, and enterprise deployments, this system combines secure rack mounting with high-bandwidth PCIe card expansion in a single chassis.
Featuring the included xMac Mini (2024+)and Echo II DV T5 module, this system enables the use of two full-length PCIe 4.0 cards via Thunderbolt 5 connectivity. It delivers the bandwidth required for demanding workflows such as high-speed networking, storage controllers, audio DSP, and video capture — all while maintaining clean rack integration and reliable cooling.
Designed specifically for Mac Mini 2024+ environments, the xMac Mini (2024+) enclosure ensures organised installation, cable management, and enterprise-grade expandability for professional studios and data-driven workflows.
- 2U rackmount enclosure for one or two Mac Mini (2024 models)
- Includes Echo II DV T5 Thunderbolt 5 to PCIe expansion module
- Makes Your Mac minis Road-ready – A rugged, steel-framed module with rubber-cushioned brackets securely holds Mac minis in place. The 2U rackmount enclosure houses both the computer mounting and Echo II DV T5 modules, enhancing mobility and streamlining your workflow.
- Supports two full-length, full-height, single-width PCIe 4.0 cards
