Sonnet Dual-port 10GBASE-T 10 Gigabit Ethernet Thunderbolt 3 Adapter – Thunderbolt 3 – 2 Port(s) – 2 – Twisted Pair – 10GBase-T – Desktop PORT 10GBE ETHERNET ADAPTER RJ45
Blazing-Fast 10GBASE-T Connectivity Over Thunderbolt 3 for Mac and Windows
Increased demand for greater data transfer speeds and more bandwidth over shared networks
plus the need for HD video editing support on high-performance shared storage systems has driven the explosion in demand for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) networking-offering ten times the performance of Gigabit Ethernet
the most common wired network connection today. It’s no wonder. And yet
most computers aren’t equipped to get you connected. If your computer has a Thunderbolt‚Ñ¢ 3 port
you are in luck-Sonnet’s Twin 10G‚Ñ¢ Thunderbolt 3 Edition dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter is the powerfully simple and cost effective solution for adding blazing-fast 10GBASE-T 10GbE network connectivity to any Mac¬Æ or Windows¬Æ computer with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports.
The Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter is equipped with two RJ45 ports
enabling it to connect to 10GbE infrastructure via inexpensive CAT-6 or CAT-6A copper cabling at distances up to 55 or 100 meters
respectively.
Simplified Setup
How simple? Just connect the Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter to your computer via the included Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cable
download and install a driver
connect the adapter to the network switch or directly to 10GbE-enabled storage via CAT-6 or CAT-6A cables
and configure the adapter’s settings through the macOS¬Æ Network control panel or Windows Device Manager.
Intelligent Operation
The Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter attains its high throughput performance and low host-CPU utilization through functions such as flow control
64-bit address support for systems using more than 4GB of physical memory; and stateless offloads such as TCP
UDP and IPv4 checksum offloading. These processes enable your computer to perform better while large files transfers or high I/O operations take place. This Sonnet adapter’s dual 10GbE connections support transparent failover to keep your computer connected in case a single cable is disconnected or one of the ports fails
and also support link aggregation for increased throughput!
Small and Nearly Noiseless
The Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter is compact enough to easily fit in most workspaces
yet large enough to support proper airflow inside the case-its design enables the adapter’s temperature-controlled
variable-speed fan to keep the adapter running cool and whisper-quiet at all times
making it suitable for use in noise-sensitive environments. Constructed of rugged and lightweight aluminum
the adapter’s outer shell securely protects the inner circuitry.
Thunderbolt 3 –
The USB-C That Does It All
The Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter includes two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports; the first connects the adapter to your computer
while the second supports daisy-chaining of up to five additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices to a single port on your computer. The Sonnet adapter includes 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 support
meaning you can connect a USB device to the second port using the proper cable or adapter. The Twin 10G also provides full support for connecting two 4K displays @ 60Hz or one 5K display @ 60Hz. For connected devices requiring extra power
15 watts is provided to connected bus-powered devices.
