Blazing Fast 10GbE Optical Networking
Ultra-fast Optical 10GbE Network Connection
As needs for faster data transfer speeds and greater bandwidth grow - especially for tasks such as 4K video editing, and storing files to and retrieving them from high performance shared storage - 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity has become a necessity. For many users, the 10Gb Ethernet network infrastructure of choice is optical 10Gb Ethernet, delivering ten times the performance of the standard Gigabit Ethernet most computers offer and greater transmission reliability over long distances. Sonnet makes it easy to add cost-effective 10GbE fiber optic connectivity to your Mac Pro, Windows, or Linux computer or server - check out Solo10G SFP+ V2 PCIe Card.
Includes SFP+ Transceiver. Simple Network Connection.
Solo10G SFP+ V2 PCIe Card includes a short-range multi-mode fiber SFP+ transceiver to enable easy connection to your optical 10GbE network at distances up to 300 meters.
Long Range SFP28 Transceivers Available - Sonnet also offers long-range single-mode fiber modules that support 10Gb connections at up to 10 kilometers.
10x Performance
More bandwidth - ten times the performance of Gigabit Ethernet.
Easy Set-up.
Higher-performance Computing.
Solo10G SFP+ V2 PCIe Card connects your computer to high-speed infrastructure and storage without stepping down in speed. Setup is simple - just download and install a driver, install Solo10G SFP+ V2 PCIe Card into one of your computer's or Sonnet Thunderbolt expansion system's x8 PCIe slots, and then connect the card to the network switch or directly to 10GbE-enabled storage. Configure the adapter's settings through macOS Network control panel, Windows Device Manager, or Linux command line (or graphical utility). This Sonnet solution is perfect for high-performance computing where low latency, high bandwidth, and low CPU overhead are required.
Two Mounting Brackets Included.
Installs Into Any PCIe Card Slot.
