SKU CH-72KR-TDGR1

A 3U rackmount enclosure that houses a Mac Studio and adds two full-length PCIe 4.0 slots with 75 W auxiliary power each, plus four Thunderbolt ports and four USB-A ports for 6000 MB/s DV I/O

  • Rackmount Mac Studio in a rugged 3U steel enclosure
  • Four Thunderbolt ports plus four USB-A ports expand connectivity
  • Two full-length PCIe 4.0 x16 slots support dual high-bandwidth cards
  • Internal 6-pin power delivers up to 75W per card
  • Run two DV I/O cards simultaneously at full 6000 MB/s

Rackmount Enclosure for Mac Studio

The Sonnet xMac Studio 3U Rackmount Enclosure Echo II DV T5 Module integrates a Mac Studio into a 3U rackmount chassis with a modular two-slot Thunderbolt to PCIe expansion module. It is built for professional audio and video workflows that need high-bandwidth DV I/O cards installed directly in a rack environment.

Suits broadcast and post-production racks

This unit suits engineers who run two high-bandwidth DV I/O cards simultaneously at full 6000 MB/s and need internal 6-pin auxiliary power connectors delivering up to 75W each for supplemental card power. It is not for users who only need desktop Thunderbolt peripherals or who have no requirement for PCIe card expansion inside a rackmount enclosure.

Two x16 mechanical PCIe 4.0 slots x4 electrical

The expansion module provides two full-length, full-height PCIe 4.0 slots with x16 mechanical connectors running at x4 electrical, enabling two cards to operate at full bandwidth. The enclosure also adds four USB-A ports on the xMac Studio side and four Thunderbolt ports on the Echo II DV T5 module for additional peripheral connectivity.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the xMac Studio 3U with Echo II DV T5 or a different module for my Mac Studio?

This bundle pairs the 3U rackmount enclosure with the Echo II DV T5 module, giving you two x16 mechanical PCIe 4.0 slots and four Thunderbolt ports for high-bandwidth DV I/O cards.

What does the 6000 MB/s bandwidth figure mean once the cards are installed?

Each of the two PCIe slots runs at x4 electrical over Thunderbolt, so two DV I/O cards can operate simultaneously at full 6000 MB/s without sharing throughput.

How does the Thunderbolt interface cap performance in practice?

The Thunderbolt link provides x4 electrical lanes per slot, limiting each card to PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds while still delivering the full 6000 MB/s needed for professional DV workflows.
