Sonnet Dual-port 10GBASE-T 10 Gigabit Ethernet Thunderbolt 3 Adapter - Thunderbolt 3 - 2 Port(s) - 2 - Twisted Pair - 10GBase-T - Desktop
Blazing-Fast 10GBASE-T Connectivity Over Thunderbolt 3 for Mac and Windows
Increased demand for greater data transfer speeds and more bandwidth over shared networks, plus the need for HD video editing support on high-performance shared storage systems has driven the explosion in demand for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) networking-offering ten times the performance of Gigabit Ethernet, the most common wired network connection today. It's no wonder. And yet, most computers aren't equipped to get you connected. If your computer has a Thunderbolt™ 3 port, you are in luck-Sonnet's Twin 10G™ Thunderbolt 3 Edition dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter is the powerfully simple and cost effective solution for adding blazing-fast 10GBASE-T 10GbE network connectivity to any Mac® or Windows® computer with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports.
The Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter is equipped with two RJ45 ports, enabling it to connect to 10GbE infrastructure via inexpensive CAT-6 or CAT-6A copper cabling at distances up to 55 or 100 meters, respectively.
Simplified Setup
How simple? Just connect the Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter to your computer via the included Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cable, download and install a driver, connect the adapter to the network switch or directly to 10GbE-enabled storage via CAT-6 or CAT-6A cables, and configure the adapter's settings through the macOS® Network control panel or Windows Device Manager.
Intelligent Operation
The Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter attains its high throughput performance and low host-CPU utilization through functions such as flow control, 64-bit address support for systems using more than 4GB of physical memory; and stateless offloads such as TCP, UDP and IPv4 checksum offloading. These processes enable your computer to perform better while large files transfers or high I/O operations take place. This Sonnet adapter's dual 10GbE connections support transparent failover to keep your computer connected in case a single cable is disconnected or one of the ports fails, and also support link aggregation for increased throughput!
Small and Nearly Noiseless
The Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter is compact enough to easily fit in most workspaces, yet 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 noise-sensitive environments. Constructed of rugged and lightweight aluminum, the adapter's outer shell securely protects the inner circuitry.

The USB-C That Does It AllThe Twin 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter includes two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports; the first connects the adapter to your computer, while the second supports daisy-chaining of up to five additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices to a single port on your computer. The Sonnet adapter includes 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 support, meaning you can connect a USB device to the second port using the proper cable or adapter. The Twin 10G also provides full support for connecting two 4K displays @ 60Hz or one 5K display @ 60Hz. For connected devices requiring extra power, 15 watts is provided to connected bus-powered devices.

Sonnet Twin25G Thunderbolt Adapter - Thunderbolt 5 - 25 Gbit/s Data Transfer Rate - 2 Port(s) - Optical Fiber - 25GBase-SR - SFP28
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.
Adds High-performance 25GbE Connectivity
Simply powerful way to add dual optical 25GbE connections to any computer with Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt 3 ports.
SFP28 Transceivers Included
High-performance adapter includes two 25GBASE SFP28 transceivers.
Backward Compatible
Adapter also supports 10GbE - enables you to integrate with 10GbE infrastructure now and upgrade your switch or shared storage system to 25GbE later.
Mac Compatible, Including Apple M series Macs
Supports Apple M series and Macs with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt/USB4, and Thunderbolt 3 ports.
Windows Compatible
Supports Windows computers with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 ports.
Linux Compatible
Supports Linux computers with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 ports.
40Gbps Thunderbolt Device
