A perfect solution to boost Enterprise, SMB, Studio, Gaming, and Home Networking.

4K Video & Beyond
For professional video users working with 4K video in a shared editing environment, the Connect-10G will allow your Mac or PC workstations to join a shared storage environment for easier file access and collaboration.

Premium 10GbE Controller
Utilizing a powerful premium 10GbE controller, the Connect-10G is capable of high-performance throughput with optimum reliability for the most demanding 10GbE networks.

Wake-On-LAN
Need to access your work computer from home? The Connect-10G features Wake-on-LAN that allows you to wake up your computer remotely to access your files.

Replaceable Thunderbolt Cable
The Connect-10G includes a user-removable 0.5m Thunderbolt 3 cable that is certified to deliver the full 40Gb/s bandwidth. Users can easily replace or swap their Thunderbolt 3 cable on the fly.

Bus-Powered
No external power is required to use the Connect-10G. It draws power straight from the Thunderbolt port.

Mac & PC
Whether you're using a Mac or Windows Thunderbolt computer, you can connect to a powerful 10GbE network. Windows users require a one-time Windows Driver install.

NBASE-T
If you already have an existing Cat 5e or Cat 6 twisted-pair copper cabling network set-up that cannot exceed 1Gbps over 100M, the Connect-10G features NBASE-T technology that will allow you to achieve data transfer rates that exceed 1Gbps without having to replace your existing Cat 5e and Cat 6 twisted-pair copper cabling network. NBASE-T will allow existing Cat 5e and Cat 6 twisted-pair copper cabling users to achieve speeds of 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps.

Audio Video Bridging
The Connect-10G features AVB over Ethernet. This means that the adapter follows a set of IEEE standards in order to ensure that audio and video are transferred in real time over the ethernet port without any delay.

Ethernet Cable Compatibility
The Connect-10G is compatible with a wide range of cables ranging from Cat 3 to Cat 6a.

10X Faster
The Connect-10G offers 10x the performance of a traditional 1Gbps Ethernet port found on most computers. Transfer files faster and more efficiently than ever.

100 Meters
The beauty of LAN based networks is that you can transfer files over distances up to 100 meters. This makes the Connect-10G ideal for shared storage environments.

10GbE over Thunderbolt
Fast networking is no longer confined to desktop computers. Any Thunderbolt 3, 4, or 5 laptop can benefit from a shared network.

LED Indicators
A set of small LED indicators on the Connect-10G offers at-a-glance information on the status of your connection. The Connect-10G's smart Speed LED indicators allows you to instantly know the status of your 10GbE connection. If the Connect-10G's LED is Green, it indicates that it is connected to a 10GbE network, and if it is Yellow, it indicates performance under 10GbE.
