You will realize considerable performance gains - 500% the speed of Gigabit Ethernet! - ideal for large file transfers, NAS workflows and low latency networking. If your network or storage system doesn't support 5Gb Ethernet, Echo 6 USB-C Multi Hub has you covered; 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps and 100 Mbps link speeds are also supported.

10 Gbps USB NVMe SSDs at Full Speed

Charge Your Laptop or Tablet at the Same Time

Plug In a USB-C Power Adapter

Many laptops and all iPads don't include dedicated power ports. Echo 6 solves this by supporting USB-C Power Delivery passthrough - simply plug your device's USB-C power adapter into the hub. The Sonnet hub accepts up to 100W input and delivers up to 85W to your laptop, reserving power for connected devices. Even without an external power adapter, the hub can operate in bus-powered mode when connected to compatible Thunderbolt or USB4 systems.
