Sonnet Breakaway Box 750ex eGPU (2021)

The Sonnet eGPU Breakaway Box 750ex is a single-slot Thunderbolt 3 eGPU enclosure with a 750W internal PSU, sized for full-length double-width PCIe 3.0 x16 graphics cards drawing up to 375W continuous (plus 100W peak). A dual-controller Thunderbolt 3 design means the single host-facing TB3 port carries both GPU traffic and a built-in hub, exposing four 5 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and a Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45. The upstream TB3 connection delivers 85W of power back to the host laptop, enough to keep most 13-15" notebooks topped up while docked.

Sonnet’s 750W Thunderbolt 3 eGPU enclosure with 85W upstream PD, integrated 4x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 hub, and Gigabit Ethernet passthrough.
