Support Note: Sonnet’s ThunderLok™ 3 Thunderbolt connector
retainer clip secures the included Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cable to
the xMac mini Server T3E to prevent accidental disconnects. It is compatible
with Sonnet 0.5-meter and 0.7 Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cables, but not
compatible with Sonnet 1-meter Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cables.
To attach the clip to the cable, remove both from their packaging, and then
slide the connector clip completely over the connector as shown (Figure 7).
Note that when you connect the cable to the chassis, the clip will secure the
connector.
