NEW: Thunderbolt(TM) 3 Editions in Echo(TM) Express Family
Sonnet will showcase new Thunderbolt(TM) 3 editions of its Echo(TM) Express SEL and Echo Express SE I Thunderbolt-to-PCI Express(R) (PCIe(R)) expansion systems. The compact and lightweight SEL and SE I chassis harness Thunderbolt 3 to enable data transfers up to 2,750 MB/s for both Mac(R) and Windows(R) computers, supporting a wide variety of high-performance PCIe cards. Differing only in size, the single-slot SEL and SE I systems are ideal for use in situations in which users only need to connect a single PCIe card. With the new interface, both systems enable users of computers equipped with 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports, such as the new MacBook Pro(R) and iMac(R) to take advantage of Thunderbolt 3's 2,750 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth to support the most demanding, highest-performance adapter cards.
Also at IBC2017, Sonnet will demonstrate Thunderbolt 3 editions of its award-winning, three-slot Echo Express III-D (desktop) and Echo Express III-R (2U rackmount) Thunderbolt-to-PCIe expansion systems, as well as the all-new, compact three-slot Echo Express SE III desktop system.

NEW: eGFX Breakaway(TM) Box
At IBC2017, Sonnet will showcase its new eGFX Breakaway(TM) Box, a Thunderbolt(TM) 3 to PCI Express(R) (PCIe(R)) expansion solution designed specifically for bandwidth-intensive video graphics cards. The eGFX Breakaway Box enables the use of all the popular GPU cards that support connecting to a computer over Thunderbolt -- such as AMD Radeon(R) R9 and RX and NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX 7, 9, and 10 series -- with Thunderbolt 3-equipped computers, providing GPU support for computationally intensive applications and games. (A list of supported computers and GPU cards is available on the Sonnet Technologies product page, www.sonnettech.com/product/egfx-breakaway-box.html). The box's single-port, 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 interface ensures the 2,750 MB/s bandwidth is dedicated to the installed card.
In addition to GPU cards, the Breakaway Box supports every Thunderbolt 3-compatible PCIe card regardless of length or height and is Thunderbolt certified for both Mac(R) and Windows(R). The new Sonnet system is the coolest and quietest eGFX box on the market, with a built-in, variable-speed, temperature-controlled fan that quietly and effectively cools the installed card. Sonnet will also preview two new external graphics solutions, the eGFX Breakaway Puck Radeon 560 and eGFX Breakaway Puck Radeon 570. Compact and powerful, these integrated Thunderbolt 3 external Graphics Processing Unit (eGPU) systems are highly portable and offer users tremendously improved graphics performance when used with thin and light laptops.

10 Gigabit Ethernet Solutions
At IBC2017, Sonnet will feature its range of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) adapters and cards, including all-new Thunderbolt(TM) 3 adapters. The company's Twin 10G(TM) and Twin 10G SFP+ for Thunderbolt 2 -- and now Thunderbolt 3 -- are dual-port adapters that add lightning-fast 10GbE network connectivity to any Mac(R) or Windows(R) computer with a Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt 3 port, respectively. With the Twin 10G and Twin 10G SFP+, users can easily connect their computers via copper or optical cables to high-speed network infrastructure and storage systems using the 10GbE standard. Their performance, compact size, easy setup, and quiet operation make these Sonnet adapters suitable for use in a variety of workflows and environments.
In addition, Sonnet will showcase its Presto(TM) 10GbE SFP+ PCI Express(R) (PCIe(R)) 2.0 card and Presto(TM) 10GbE 10GBASE-T PCIe 3.0 card. These 10GbE dual-port cards are cost-effective solutions for users to connect their computers to high-speed network infrastructure and storage systems using the 10GbE standard via optical or copper cabling, respectively. Both Presto cards work with Mac Pro(R) towers, Windows PCs, Linux(R) servers, and computers with Thunderbolt ports via Thunderbolt-to-PCIe expansion systems.
