Ultra-fast Optical 10GbE Network Connectivity
With increasing demands for greater data transfer speeds and more bandwidth over shared networks, and with specialized applications such as 4K video editing using high-performance shared storage systems, it’s no wonder that 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) use has skyrocketed —this high-speed cabled networking standard offers ten times the performance of Gigabit Ethernet, the most common wired network connection included with most computers today. Sonnet offers a powerfully simple way to add dual-port 10GbE fiber optic connectivity to your Mac Pro tower, Windows or Linux PC or server — Twin10G™ SFP28 PCIe Card.
Includes Two SFP28 Transceivers - Easy Network Connection
To enable easy connection to your 10GbE optical network, Twin10G SFP28 PCIe Card includes two short-range multi-mode fiber SFP28 transceivers (up to 300 meters).
The SFP28 transceivers are compatible with network switches equipped with SFP+ transceivers – and connect via the same LC/LC cables – ensuring the same optical 10GbE connectivity as an SFP+ card.
10x the Performance of Gigabit Ethernet
Each Twin10G port supports ten times the performance of Gigabit Ethernet with even more bandwidth when combining ports.
SMB Multichannel Support - Maximizes Throughput and Reliability with SMB Multichannel
Harness the full potential of Sever Message Block (SMB) Multichannel support with our Twin10G SFP28 PCIe Card. When both ports are connected to your SMB server, you can combine their bandwidth to achieve significantly higher data transfer speeds, and more. SMB Multichannel support brings several key benefits:
- Mac Compatible – Supports 2023 and 2019 Mac Pro computers running macOS 13+.
- Windows Compatible – Supports computers with PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 slots running Windows or Windows Server.
- Linux Compatible – Supports computers with PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 slots running Linux Kernel 5.4+.
- Great for Use in Thunderbolt Expansion Systems – Use in a Sonnet multi-slot Echo or xMac Thunderbolt expansion system to add dual-port optical 10Gb Ethernet to your computer without expansion card slots.
- Adds High-performance 10GbE Fiber Connectivity
- SFP28 Transceivers Included
- Increased Throughput - By utilizing two network connections to SMB Servers, the bandwidth of each port can be combined to deliver twice the data transfer rate.
