Review Summary

Rated 4 out of 5

Worth it for the speeds.

Does exactly what we hoped it would. It gets fairly toasty and it isn?t much to look at. I would prefer if the cable were replaceable, but overall, pleased with the performance! Have it connected to Macs and then a Synology 1817+ server w/ 10GBe.

SO I.

It just works...blazing fast!

This little ethernet adapter works exactly as promised with blazing fast speed. After unsuccessfully trying other adapters that required driver installation (even for Mac OSX), this one is basically just plug-n-play. The instructions included very good, detailed info for making the proper network settings in system preferences. After that, it just worked! Solid design, too.

Works perfectly (Requires 10.13 or higher to work at all)

Can't be using an OS earlier than 10.13 but otherwise works great!

If you're seeking to elevate your data transfer capabilities to match the demands of 4K content creation, high-volume storage workflows, and other bandwidth-intensive tasks, the Solo 10G Thunderbolt 3 to 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is your gateway to ultra-fast network speeds. This compact and robust adapter is engineered to deliver 10GBASE-T connectivity, offering a cost-effective solution for integrating 10Gb Ethernet into your existing setup.

Experience a tenfold increase in performance compared to traditional Gigabit Ethernet with the Solo 10G adapter's RJ45 connection. It supports both CAT 6 and CAT 6A copper cabling, allowing for extended reach up to 55 or 100 meters, respectively, without compromising on speed or reliability. The adapter's affordability is unprecedented, making high-speed networking accessible like never before.

With NBASE-T support, the Solo 10G adapter maximizes the potential of existing CAT 5e cabling, boosting transfer speeds by 250 to 500 percent over standard Gigabit connections. This versatility ensures that the adapter can be deployed across various network infrastructures, providing a unified solution for diverse organizational needs.

The Solo 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter is designed with advanced features for intelligent operation. It achieves exceptional throughput and minimal CPU load through state-of-the-art functions such as flow control, 64-bit address support, and stateless offloads for TCP, UDP, and IPv4 checksums. These features enable seamless large file transfers and high I/O operations, enhancing your system's overall performance.

Energy efficiency is also a key aspect of the Solo 10G adapter, which supports IEEE 802.3az (Energy-Efficient Ethernet) to minimize power consumption. Additionally, the adapter's captive cable design ensures a secure and durable connection, with the option for easy replacement if necessary.

Security is paramount, and the Solo 10G adapter incorporates hardware encryption to safeguard against unauthorized firmware modifications. This security measure ensures that the adapter remains a trusted component of your network infrastructure.

For professionals in the audio and video industries, the adapter's support for Audio Video Bridging (IEEE 802.1Qav, AVB) is essential, providing precise synchronization of data streams for optimal performance in production environments.

The Solo 10G adapter's pocket-sized, bus-powered design sets it apart from other 10GbE adapters. Encased in rugged aluminum, it operates silently without the need for a fan, ensuring quiet and energy-efficient functionality that's perfect for on-the-go use.

Setting up the Solo 10G adapter is straightforward: simply connect it to your Thunderbolt 3-equipped Mac or Windows computer, link it to your network switch or 10GbE-enabled storage, and configure the settings via the macOS Network control panel or Windows Device Manager. With this adapter, you're just steps away from experiencing the full potential of 10Gb Ethernet connectivity.
