BLAZING-FAST 10GBE CONNECTIVITY OVER THUNDERBOLT 3 FOR MAC AND WINDOWS
Are you looking for a straightforward and economical approach to connecting your computer to a high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) network using the Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer? You’ll need an adapter. Delivering up to ten times Gigabit Ethernet’s performance and supporting uses such as HD video editing on high-performance shared storage systems it’s no wonder that 10GbE use has soared. Sonnet’s Twin 10G™ SFP+ 10GbE Thunderbolt 3 adapter is the powerfully simple solution for adding blazing-fast 10GbE network connectivity to any Mac? or Windows? computer(1) with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports.
FLEXIBILITY OF SFP+ TRANSCEIVER CHOICES
Sonnet offers three SFP+ transceiver options (sold separately)—a short-range multi-mode fiber module (up to 300 meters) part number G10E-SFP-SR; a long-range single-mode fiber module (up to 10 kilometers) part number G10E-SFP-LR; and a 10GBASE-T copper module part number G10E-SFP-T (Cat 6A cable up to 100 meters). Alternatively you can use cost-effective direct-attach Twinax copper cables up to 10 meters long (sold separately).
EASY TO SET UP
Simply connect the Twin 10G SFP+ Thunderbolt 3 adapter to your computer via the included Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cable download and install a driver install SFP+ module(s) (sold separately) connect the adapter to the network switch or directly to 10GbE-enabled storage and configure the adapter’s settings through the macOS™ Network control panel or Windows Device Manager.
Connect your computer to the switch or device’s 10GbE ports via inexpensive CAT-6 or CAT-6A copper cabling
INTELLIGENT OPERATION
The Twin 10G SFP+ Thunderbolt 3 adapter’s high throughput performance and low host-CPU utilization are attained 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 operations 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(3) for increased throughput!
COMPACT AND NEARLY NOISELESS
Small enough to easily fit in most workspaces the Twin 10G SFP+ Thunderbolt 3 adapter is still 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 SFP+ 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(4) 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(5) 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(6). For connected devices requiring extra power 15 watts is provided to connected bus-powered devices(7).
THUNDERBOLT 3 (40GBPS) CABLE AND THUNDERLOK™ 3 INCLUDED
Sonnet includes a 0.5-meter Thunderbolt 3 cable to connect the Twin 10G SFP+ Thunderbolt 3 Edition to your computer and a Sonnet ThunderLok 3 Thunderbolt connector retainer clip(8) to secure the cable to the adapter. Accidental cable disconnects can lead to data loss but Sonnet’s ThunderLok 3 helps prevent them securing the Thunderbolt cable to the adapter. ThunderLok 3 is easy to install and use—just slide it over one of the cable’s connectors plug in the connector and then secure it to the adapter by turning a thumbscrew. Because ThunderLok doesn’t attach to the connector it remains on the cable and won’t get lost when not in use.
