Sonnet xMac Studio 3U Rackmount System With Echo III Thunderbolt 5 Module

Sonnet xMac Studio 3U Rackmount System with Echo III Thunderbolt 5 Module

Sonnet xMac Studio with Echo III Thunderbolt 5 PCIe card expansion module installs a Mac Studio into a professional 3U rackmount enclosure and provides a three-slot Thunderbolt-to-PCIe Echo III expansion for adding PCIe I/O used in audio, video, and post-production workflows.

The enclosure secures a Mac Studio in a compact, rack-friendly chassis while offering flexible PCIe expansion (Mac Studio computer and PCIe cards sold separately). This configuration suits studios and broadcast racks that need a space-efficient solution for high-performance I/O, now built around the latest Thunderbolt 5 interface.

Features and Benefits

• Connects PCIe Card Slots to Mac Studio - Use high-performance PCIe cards with the Mac Studio.
• Makes Your Mac Studio Road-ready - 3U rackmount enclosure with firm rubber cushions securely holds the Mac Studio and Thunderbolt expansion module in place, adding mobility to your workflow.
• Ideal for Use in Server Rooms - Standard mounting holes and included adjustable rack rails enable easy installation into any standard server rack up to 24 inches deep.
• Front to Back Airflow Management - Supports direct airflow through the enclosure, Mac Studio, and Thunderbolt expansion module to keep them operating as cool in a rack as on a desk, even when the xMac Studio is mounted between two other rack-mounted components.
• Front Panel Power Switch and Integrated USB-A Ports - Front panel button enables operation of the computer's rear-mounted power switch; integrated USB-A hub enables connection of four USB peripherals to the Mac Studio.
• Easy Access - No tools required - removable front panel secured with thumbscrews allows easy installation of and access to the Mac Studio. Secured with three thumbscrews on the back, the Thunderbolt expansion module can be removed and reinstalled through the front of the enclosure without removing the front plate.
• Space for Storage - Behind a covered opening beneath the computer is a space to place two Thunderbolt or USB SSDs (sold separately); two included adhesive-backed magnets secure them in place.
• Open Slot and Port Access - Provides access to the computer's SD card slot and front and back panel ports, enabling you to connect and disconnect cables easily.
