Incredible 25GbE Connectivity Over Thunderbolt

Many post-production shared storage workgroups and other bandwidth-intensive workflows have reached a point where 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) does not provide enough bandwidth and speed for optimum performance. Stepping up to 25Gb Ethernet (25GbE) makes a lot of sense - it offers greater performance and often works with the same optical network infrastructure as 10GbE. For these workgroups, there is now a cost-effective 25GbE interface for your Mac®, Windows®, or Linux®computer with Thunderbolt™ 4 or Thunderbolt 3 ports - Sonnet's Twin25G™, an affordable yet powerful solution for adding incredibly-fast fiber optic 25GbE network connectivity.

The Twin25G Thunderbolt Adapter is a pre-configured bundle of Sonnet Twin25G PCIe Card with Sonnet Echo Express SEL Thunderbolt Expansion Chassis.

Affordable 25GbE Networking | Make the Switch

Postproduction workflows' needs for speed and increased network bandwidth beyond the current 10Gb standard have increased more quickly than the availability of affordable higher speed network components. Recently, extremely affordable 25Gb Ethernet switches have become available, but connecting a computer with Thunderbolt ports - such as a Mac Studio®- to a 25GbE infrastructure has remained expensive. Until now. Sonnet's Twin25G Thunderbolt adapter is the most cost-effective and powerfully simple solution for adding incredible 25GbE network connectivity to your computer without PCIe card slots.
