About Sonnet Upgrade Kit

An innovative solution for enhancing your computing experience, the Thunderbolt 3 Upgrade Kit for xMac Mini Server is a powerful tool designed by Sonnet. This kit is specifically engineered to upgrade Echo Express and xMac mini Server Thunderbolt 2 to PCIe card expansion systems, as well as select Thunderbolt 2 adapters, to the lightning-fast 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3.

The upgrade process is straightforward - simply replace the existing Thunderbolt interface board with the upgrade board. This instantly equips your chassis to support higher performance and seamlessly connect to your Thunderbolt 3 equipped computer, eliminating the need for an adapter.

The Thunderbolt 3 interface card, once installed, significantly boosts your upgraded Sonnet Thunderbolt 2 system's bandwidth by 30% to 100% for the installed PCIe cards. This increased bandwidth allows PCIe cards with high bandwidth requirements, such as 16Gb Fibre Channel and 4K Video I/O cards supporting high frame rates, to perform at their peak.

Choosing to upgrade rather than adapt with the Sonnet Thunderbolt 3 upgrade offers numerous benefits. The upgrade card provides a substantial bandwidth increase to 40Gbps, compared to Thunderbolt 2's 20Gbps. It also supports optimal Thunderbolt 3 daisy chaining, allowing additional Thunderbolt 3 peripheral devices in the Thunderbolt chain to enjoy the full 40Gbps bandwidth.

The upgrade card also offers 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 support, enabling you to connect a USB device to the second port using the appropriate cable or adapter. It also fully supports the connection of two 4K displays @ 60Hz or one 5K display @ 60Hz.

Designed with user convenience in mind, Sonnet's Thunderbolt 3 upgrade cards are compatible with the ThunderLok 3 Thunderbolt connector retainer clip. This clip secures the Thunderbolt cable to the chassis, preventing accidental disconnections. Its unique design ensures it remains on the cable when not in use, so it won't get lost.

Key features of this upgrade kit include an easy-to-install 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 Upgrade Card that replaces the existing 20Gbps Thunderbolt interface board in your Thunderbolt 2 to PCIe card expansion system. It also improves performance with high-bandwidth PCIe cards, providing up to 100% more bandwidth. The kit includes two Thunderbolt 3 ports, with one port reserved for connection to the computer and the second port supporting daisy-chaining of up to five additional Thunderbolt devices, attaching a single USB peripheral device, or connecting up to two 4K displays or one 5K display.

Experience the power and efficiency of Thunderbolt 3 with the Thunderbolt 3 Upgrade Kit for xMac Mini Server, a reliable and high-performance solution for your computing needs.
