Sonnet Technologies ECHO-DK13-0TB5 Thunderbolt 5 docking station

Sonnet Echo 13 Thunderbolt 5 Dock

The Sonnet Echo 13 is a Thunderbolt 5 docking station designed for professionals who need high-speed connectivity and flexible storage expansion. It accepts an optional Thunderbolt 5 NVMe SSD to add fast local storage directly through the dock. Four Thunderbolt 5 ports enable daisy-chaining multiple high-performance peripherals or displays. This dock suits creative workflows requiring maximum bandwidth.

Check host port and power needs

Verify your computer has a Thunderbolt 5 port to access the full 45 Gb/s bandwidth and all dock features. The unit requires its included power adapter and US-specific power cable to operate and to deliver upstream power to the host. Three USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports provide 10 Gb/s each for charging and data, while one USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port runs at 5 Gb/s. A 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port adds wired networking.

Sustained throughput with active cooling

The dock maintains consistent throughput during long transfers thanks to its internal thermal design and included power supply. Four Thunderbolt 5 ports share total bandwidth, so simultaneous heavy loads on multiple ports will reduce per-port speed. UHS-II SD and microSD card slots deliver reliable read/write rates for extended offload sessions. The 3.5 mm combination audio jack supports headsets without adding latency.
