Sonnet Breakaway Box 850 T5 Thunderbolt 5 eGPU Enclosure

Sonnet Breakaway Box 850 T5 Thunderbolt 5 eGPU Enclosure

The Sonnet Breakaway Box 850T5 is a next-generation Thunderbolt 5 eGPU enclosure designed to transform Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, and USB4 Windows 11 systems into near-desktop-grade graphics workstations. Ideal for video editors, AI developers, medical imaging professionals, and gamers, it delivers powerful GPU acceleration through a single high-bandwidth Thunderbolt 5 connection.

Work Faster. Game Harder.
The Breakaway Box 850T5 brings desktop-class GPU performance to your laptop or small form factor PC. Install the GPU of your choice, connect it with a Thunderbolt 5 cable, and instantly unlock the power required for smooth 4K gaming, accelerated video editing, fast rendering, and demanding AI workflows. With support for large triple-width GPUs, an ultra-quiet cooling system, and upgrade flexibility, it’s built for professionals who need reliable performance — and for gamers who want desktop-level graphics anywhere.

Accelerate Your Creative Workflow
Many creative applications rely heavily on GPU power for rendering, colour grading, visual effects, and animation. Laptops equipped with integrated or low-power graphics can struggle under these workloads. Pairing your system with the Breakaway Box 850T5 delivers the GPU performance required to dramatically reduce processing times and boost productivity.

Local AI Performance, No Cloud Required
Install a modern GPU and run local AI applications with immediate results — without cloud fees or online dependencies. Run popular LLM platforms such as LM Studio, Ollama, or GPT4ALL locally, edit and generate imagery with Stable Diffusion or Flux.1, or perform audio enhancement tasks with tools like VoiceCraft, Krisp, and Ace-Step.

Serious GPU Power for Serious Gaming
Unlock high-frame-rate gaming without needing to carry a heavy gaming laptop. The 850T5 instantly boosts graphics performance for compatible Windows 11 systems, supports multi-monitor output up to four displays, and offers full upgrade flexibility with user-replaceable GPUs — something dedicated gaming laptops cannot match.

Thunderbolt 5: The Future of Connectivity
Delivering up to 80 Gbps of bi-directional bandwidth — twice that of Thunderbolt 4 — the Breakaway Box 850T5 provides next-generation speed for GPU data transfer and high-bandwidth workloads. With an integrated Thunderbolt 5 dock, a single cable transforms your system into a high-performance workstation with expanded connectivity.

Engineered for Compatibility and Power
With a robust 850W internal PSU, the enclosure supports today’s most demanding triple-width GPUs, including NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50/40/30 series and AMD Radeon RX 9000/7000/6000 series. It delivers the overhead required for future, more power-hungry GPUs, ensuring long-term upgrade flexibility.

Expanded Connectivity Built In
The integrated dock includes:
• One Thunderbolt 5 peripheral port for additional Thunderbolt 5/4/3 or USB-C devices
• 5 GbE (RJ45) Ethernet for faster network performance over existing Cat5e/6 cabling
• Three USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) ports supplying up to 7.5W each for NVMe SSDs and peripherals

Quiet, Efficient Cooling
A large variable-speed, temperature-controlled fan ensures optimal thermal performance while keeping noise levels low — ideal for professional editing suites and quiet work environments.
