Blazing-fast 10GBASE-T (Copper) Connectivity Over Thunderbolt for Computers with Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 Ports
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 or Thunderbolt 4 port, you are in luck - Sonnet’s Twin10G™ 10GbE adapter is the powerfully simple and most cost-effective solution for adding blazing-fast dual-port 10GBASE-T 10GbE network connectivity.
Twin10G SFP+: Dual-port SFP+ 10GbE Connectivity
Sonnet offers two SFP+ transceiver options (sold separately before May 1, 2023; included on and after May 1, 2023) - a
short-range multi-mode fiber module (up to 300 meters), part number G10E-SFP-SR; and a long-range single-mode fiber module (up to 10 kilometers), part number G10E-SFP-LR. Alternatively, you can use cost-effective direct-attach Twinax copper cables up to 10 meters long (sold separately).
