10 Gigabit Cabled Networking Ultra-Fast 10 Gb/s Network Connection With creative pros’ increasing demand for greater data transfer speeds and more bandwidth over shared networks, 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 common wired network connection included with most computers today. To get your computer up to speed, you’ll have to adapt — Sonnet’s Twin10G™ 10GBASE-T PCIe Card is a powerfully simple and cost-effective way to add dual-port copper 10GbE connectivity to your Mac Pro tower or Windows PC, or Linux server.
Connect your computer to the switch or device’s 10GbE ports via inexpensive CAT-6 or CAT-6A copper cabling |
Key Features Adds 10GbE Connectivity to Mac Pro Towers, Windows PCs, and Linux Servers — Powerfully simple way to add high-performance 10GbE connectivity to your computer with PCIe slots Optimized for Thunderbolt™ — Ideal for use in Sonnet Thunderbolt expansion systems Cost Effective — Connects to 10GbE infrastructure via inexpensive CAT 6 or CAT 6A cables at distances up to 55 or 100 meters, respectively Simple Setup — The low-profile x4 PCIe 3.0 card installs easily into an available PCIe slot. After a quick driver installation, configuration is handled through macOS network settings or Windows Device Manager Supports Transparent Failover — Keeps your computer connected in case a single cable is disconnected or one of the ports fails Supports Link Aggregation (Teaming) —I ncreases throughput beyond what a single connection can sustain(1)   |

Its increased throughput performance and low host-CPU utilization are achieved through functions such as flow control support, 64-bit address support for systems using more than 4GB of physical memory; and stateless offloads such as TCP, UDP and IPv4 checksum offloading, enabling your computer to perform better while large files transfers or high I/O operations take place. With its dual ports, this Sonnet adapter supports transparent failover to keep your computer connected in case a single cable is disconnected or one of the ports fails, and it also supports link aggregation (teaming)(1) for increased throughput!
