Description
Increase your workflow by adding lightning-fast Optical 10GbE connectivity over Thunderbolt with the Sonnet Dual-Port SFP28 10 Gigabit Ethernet Thunderbolt Adapter with Two SFP28 Transceivers. This compact, rugged adapter is easy to set up and use while providing two Thunderbolt ports and two preinstalled SFP28 transceivers that have a range of up to 300 meters. Each Twin10G port supports ten times the performance of Gigabit Ethernet. Additionally, Sonnet has designed this adapter to operate intelligently and efficiently with minimal CPU load. The built-in smart controller features onboard memory to minimize latency and avoid packet drops. You can connect to Mac, Windows, and Linux systems using the included Thunderbolt cable.Maximizes Throughput and Reliability with SMB Multichannel Harness the full potential of Sever Message Block (SMB) Multichannel support with this Twin10G SFP28 Thunderbolt Adapter. 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:Increased Throughput By utilizing two network connections, the bandwidth of each port can be combined to deliver twice the data transfer rate.Increased Scalability Easily expand your network s capabilities. As your infrastructure grows, connect the additional Twin10G port to scale throughput without complex reconfiguration.Improved Fault Tolerance Seamlessly keeps your computer connected in case a single cable is disconnected or one of the ports fails.Enhanced Load Balancing Network traffic is dynamically distributed across available connections to prevent congestion and optimize performance under varying network demands.Reduced Latency Minimizes delays by balancing traffic paths to enhance responsiveness in real-time operations.Suitable for Use in Noise-sensitive Environments This adapter is small enough to easily fit in most workspaces but 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.Intelligent Operation. Efficient Performance. The Twin10G SFP28 Thunderbolt 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 free to perform other tasks.All the Right Connections - Thunderbolt Cable and ThunderLok Included Sonnet includes a Thunderbolt cable that supports Thunderbolt s maximum bandwidth and is fully compatible with Thunderbolt 3, 4, or 5 computers. Sonnet also provides a ThunderLok Thunderbolt connector retainer clip that prevents accidental cable disconnections.Thunderbolt Interface The Twin10G SFP28 Thunderbolt Adapter features a high-speed Thunderbolt interface that delivers the PCIe bandwidth to support two 10Gb ports at full speed.Thunderbolt Port to Connect Additional Devices One port is reserved for the connection to your Thunderbolt computer; the second port enables expansion of additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices in a daisy chain.10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 Support 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 support allows you to connect a USB device to the second Thunderbolt port using the proper cable or adapter.Provides 15W of Power For bus-powered peripherals requiring extra power, 15 watts is provided to bus-powered devices.Supports Connecting Up to
