OWC / Other World Computing 10GbE Ethernet PCIe 4.0 Network Interface Card

A leap into the fast lane of data transfer awaits with the OWC 10GbE Ethernet PCIe 4.0 Network Interface Card. As content volumes and resolutions soar, the need for speed becomes paramount. This advanced network adapter propels you beyond the limitations of standard 1Gb Ethernet, offering a transformative experience akin to driving an exotic supercar. Perfect for creative workflows, A/V production, and online gaming, this card ensures you save and share data up to 10 times faster.

Harness the power of 10 Gigabit Ethernet to download, share, and save files at over 900MB/s, a real-world tested speed that dramatically outpaces standard Ethernet. This performance boost is crucial for video editors, creative professionals, musicians, and gamers who require reliable, stable, and secure data transfer. Filmmakers can transfer 4.0TB of 4K footage in just over an hour, a task that would otherwise take over 10 hours. Video editing teams can streamline workflows and collaborate on 8K files without dropped frames. Audio producers can deliver latency-free, real-time audio and video data streams with AVB precision quality. Photographers can send 1000 RAW files (52MB each) to a NAS or remote server in under 45 seconds.

The OWC 10GbE card is a versatile solution for both internal and external Ethernet needs. Internally, it fits Mac Pro 2019 and PC computers with an open PCIe slot, as well as Windows/Linux-based application servers and shared storage like the OWC Jupiter Callisto. Externally, it can be installed in a PCIe expansion chassis such as the OWC Mercury Helios 3S or in storage solutions like the OWC ThunderBay Flex 8 or Flex 1U4, providing enhanced connectivity for machines or NAS limited to 1Gb/s Ethernet.

This network interface card is AVB-ready, supporting real-time audio and video media streams to multiple destinations over existing network cables. It offers maximum speed with a significant return on investment, supporting 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T for up to a 500% performance increase using existing Cat 5e or Cat 6 cabling. Built to optimize network and CPU performance, it handles up to 16KB jumbo frames, reducing network transactions and bandwidth usage. Advanced IP, TCP, UDPO checksum, and Large Send offload processes ensure your computer maintains peak performance during large file transfers or high I/O operations.

Quality of Service (QoS) technology ensures priority applications perform optimally even during limited network capacity periods. Energy-Efficient Ethernet standards keep your system running cool and cost-effectively. Compatible with a wide range of existing cabling infrastructures, from Cat 5 to Cat 7, the OWC 10GbE card offers seamless integration into any network setup.

With network Wake-on-LAN support, you can remotely wake a hibernated Windows or sleeping Mac computer, allowing for efficient system management and file access without the need for an always-on system. Trusted by professionals and enthusiasts worldwide, OWC hardware is built to the highest standards of reliability and performance, ensuring your complete satisfaction.
