Sonnet Echo 6 USB-C Multi Hub

About: Sonnet Echo 6 USB-C Multi Hub

Is your computer limited in the type and number of ports you need? Echo 6 USB-C Multi Hub expands a single USB-C or Thunderbolt port into a complete workstation — adding high-speed USB ports, 4K HDMI display output, 5Gb Ethernet networking, and USB-C power passthrough.

• Single USB-C Port to Full Workstation – Transforms one USB-C or Thunderbolt port into a complete setup — adds 4K 60Hz HDMI, 5Gb Ethernet, three 10 Gbps USB ports, and USB-C power input so you can connect display, network, and peripherals with a single cable.
• 4K 60Hz HDMI Display Output – Connect a 4K 60Hz monitor or projector via HDMI for sharp visuals and smooth video playback — ideal for productivity, creative work, meetings, and streaming.
• Fast 5Gb Ethernet Networking – Upgrade with a 5Gb Ethernet (RJ45) port that delivers higher-speed, low-latency connections for large file transfers, NAS access, and pro workflows.
• 10 Gbps USB Ports for High-speed Devices – Attach fast bus-powered SSDs, audio and video interfaces, capture devices, and everyday peripherals; three 10 Gbps USB ports provide the bandwidth modern accessories need.
• 100W USB-C Power Delivery In – Connect your USB-C power adapter to power the hub and charge your laptop through the same cable, simplifying your desk with single-cable power and connectivity.
• Flexible Power Operation – Power the hub with your computer’s USB-C power adapter, or via bus power when connected to a Thunderbolt or USB4 port. The hub can even operate with a standard USB 3.2 port.
• Compatibility –  Plug-and-play with macOS 15+, Windows 11, and iPadOS 17+ on laptops and iPad models that have Thunderbolt or USB4 ports, or USB-C supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode (required for HDMI output). See official product page Tech Specs for the latest compatibility details.

4K HDMI Display Support

Ideal for productivity, creative work, meetings, and streaming, Echo 6 USB-C Multi Hub features a 4K 60Hz HDMI port, enabling you to connect an HDMI display or projector @60Hz for sharp visuals and smooth video playback.

Experience Even Faster 5G Ethernet Transfers Across Existing Ethernet Cabling

The built-in 5 Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) port supports a 5 Gbps link over Cat 5e or better cabling, helping you unlock faster wired performance without installing new network infrastructure. 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.

Connect Super-fast USB NVMe SSDs at Full Speed

Echo 6 USB-C Multi Hub features two 10 Gbps USB-A ports and one 10 Gbps USB-C port that support 10Gb USB NVMe SSD drives at full speed. Of course, you can also connect printers, microphones, thumb drives, web cams, memory card readers, and more.

100W Power Delivery In – Charge Your Laptop or Tablet at the Same Time

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.
