Sonnet Solo10G SFP+ Thunderbolt 3 Adapter with Short-Range SFP+ Transceiver

How can you enhance your productivity and streamline your data transfer process With the Solo10G SFP+ Thunderbolt 3 Adapter with Short-Range SFP+ Transceiver, you can experience lightning-fast 10GBASE-SR connectivity at an affordable price. This device is designed to meet the demands of creators who are producing more content at 4K and higher resolutions, resulting in larger file sizes that require efficient and speedy transfer.

The Solo10G SFP+ Thunderbolt 3 Adapter is an ideal solution for post-production shared storage workgroups and other bandwidth-intensive workflows. It offers a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interface for your Mac or Windows computer with Thunderbolt 3 ports. This adapter provides a cost-effective way to add fiber optic 10GbE network connectivity, enabling you to connect your computer to 10GbE infrastructure via LC optical cable (sold separately) at distances up to 300 meters.

Safety and security are paramount with the Solo10G SFP+ adapter. It features hardware encryption to protect against unauthorized firmware modification, ensuring your data remains secure. The adapter's firmware can only be updated by the manufacturer using a secure encryption key, preventing any unauthorized access.

The Solo10G SFP+ Thunderbolt 3 Adapter also boasts a replaceable captive cable, ensuring the Thunderbolt connector remains firmly attached at all times. In the event of a cable break, it can be easily replaced with an approved replacement cable from Sonnet or a Sonnet-authorized reseller.

This adapter is designed for intelligent operation, achieving high throughput performance and low host-CPU utilization through features 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. It also supports the Energy-Efficient Ethernet standard (IEEE 802.3az), reducing the adapter's power demands on your computer.

The Solo10G SFP+ Thunderbolt 3 Adapter comes with a short-range multi-mode fiber SFP+ module (up to 300 meters), but also supports long-range single-mode fiber module (up to 10 kilometers) and a 10GBASE-T copper module (both sold separately). Alternatively, you can use cost-effective direct-attach Twinax copper cables up to 10 meters long.

Unlike most 10GbE adapters, the Solo10G SFP+ is compact and portable, measuring only 3.1 inches wide by 4.9 inches deep by 1.1 inches tall. It is bus-powered, eliminating the need for a power adapter, and operates silently, making it perfect for noise-sensitive environments. Its rugged aluminum case ensures durability and longevity.

Setting up the Solo10G SFP+ Thunderbolt 3 Adapter is a breeze. Simply connect the adapter to your computer and to the network switch (or directly to 10GbE-enabled storage), and configure the adapter's settings through the macOS Network control panel or Windows Device Manager. This powerful, simple, and cost-effective solution is Thunderbolt Certified for both Mac and Windows, making it a versatile addition to your tech arsenal.
