Sonnet Twin10G 2-port 10GbE Thunderbolt 3 Ethernet Adapter TWIN10GC-TB3

Sonnet Twin10G 2-port 10GbE Thunderbolt 3 Ethernet Adapter TWIN10GC-TB3 Twin10G (Thunderbolt 3 Edition) Dual-port 10GBASE-T 10 Gigabit Ethernet Thunderbolt 3 Adapter Blazing-fast 10GBASE-T (Copper) Connectivity Over Thunderbolt 3 for Mac, Windows, and Linux Computers Increased demand for greater data transfer speeds and more bandwidth on high-performance shared storage networks has driven the explosion in demand for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) networking. Yet, most computers aren’t equipped to get you connected. If your computer has a Thunderbolt™ 3 port, you are in luck—Sonnet’s Twin10G™ (Thunderbolt 3 Edition) 10GbE adapter is the powerfully simple and most cost-effective solution for adding blazing-fast dual-port 10GBASE-T 10GbE network connectivity to any Mac®, Windows®, or Linux® computer with Thunderbolt 3 ports. Connect to 10GbE Infrastructure The Twin10G (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. Small and Nearly Noiseless The Twin10G (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. Simplified Setup How simple? Just connect the Twin10G (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® Network control panel, Windows Device Manager, or Linux command line (or graphical utility). Intelligent Operation The Twin10G (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 (teaming) for increased throughput! Thunderbolt 3, The USB-C That Does It All Thunderbolt 3 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(5). For connected devices requiring extra power, 15 watts is provided to connected bus-powered devices. Included at No Extra Charge, Thunderbolt 3 Cable. ThunderLok 3. Sonnet includes a 0.7-meter Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cable and a Sonnet ThunderLok 3 Thunderbolt connector retainer clip to avoid accidental cable disconnections just slide it over one end of the cable, and then plug in the connector and secure it to the chassis by turning a thumbscrew. Because of its unique design, ThunderLok remains on the cable so it won’t get lost when not in use. Features Adds 10GBASE-T 10GbE Connectivity Simply powerful way to add dual RJ45 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to your computer with Thunderbolt 3 ports. Cost-Effective Connects to 10GbE infrastructure via inexpensive Cat 6 or Cat 6A cables at distances up to 55 or 100 meters, respectively. Easy Setup Configure the adapter's settings using operating system tools. 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 Interface Offers 2750 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth, doubling the performance of Thunderbolt 2. Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports One port connects to computer; second port supports daisy-chaining of up to five additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices. Small. Rugged. Nearly Noiseless. Rugged aluminum enclosure is compact enough to sit on most any work surface, and quiet enough for use in noise-sensitive environments. Supports Transparent Failover Keeps your computer connected in case a single cable is disconnected or one of the ports fails. Supports Link Aggregation (Teaming) Increases throughput beyond what a single connection can sustain in some applications. Power for Peripherals Provides up to 15W of power to connected peripherals.
