Add Blazing-fast Optical 10GbE Connectivity Over Thunderbolt

Are you looking for the most economical dual-port approach to connecting to a high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) fiber network using the Thunderbolt port on your Mac, Windows, or Linux computer? You’ll need the Sonnet adapter. Sonnet Twin10G™ SFP28 Thunderbolt Adapter is the powerfully simple solution for adding blazing-fast dual-port 10GbE optical network connectivity to your computer.

Twin10G SFP28 Thunderbolt Adapter is a pre-configured bundle of Sonnet Twin10G SFP28 PCIe Card with Sonnet Echo™ Express SEL Thunderbolt Expansion System.

Includes Two SFP28 Transceivers

Easy Network Connection
To enable easy connection to your 10GbE optical network, Twin10G SFP28 adapter includes two short-range multi-mode fibre SFP28 transceivers (up to 300 meters).

More Bandwidth

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 adapter. When both ports are connected to your SMB server, you can combine their bandwidth to achieve significantly higher data transfer speeds, and more.

Small. Cool. Adaptable.

Suitable for Use in Noise-sensitive Environments
Small enough to easily fit in most workspaces, Twin10G SFP28 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 in almost any workspace. Constructed of rugged and lightweight aluminum, the adapter’s outer shell securely protects the inner circuitry.

Smart Controller

Intelligent Operation. Efficient Performance.
Twin10G SFP28 adapter attains high throughput performance with minimal host CPU load. The adapter’s smart controller has its own internal processing system with onboard memory to process TX/RX data while using few CPU resources. Once data appears in queues, TX checksums are computed on the fly as data is transmitted; RX checksums are quickly verified, and data is immediately passed directly to main memory. This independent controller action minimizes latency and avoids packet drops. The CPU is freed for other tasks.

Secure Connections for High Performance

Thunderbolt Cable and ThunderLok Included
Sonnet includes a Thunderbolt cable that supports Thunderbolt’s maximum bandwidth and is fully compatible with Thunderbolt 5, 4, and 3 computers. Sonnet also provides ThunderLok, a Thunderbolt connector cable lock, that prevents accidental cable disconnections.

Thunderbolt Technology

Fastest External Interface Available
Sonnet Thunderbolt products feature a high-speed Thunderbolt interface that delivers PCIe bandwidth needed to support data transfers at full speed.
