Sonnet Presto 1-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Express Card with SFP+ (Thunderbolt Compatible), 9.9Gbps with 9KB MTU/9.5Gbps with 1500B MTU

The Sonnet Presto 1-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express adapter card enables you to connect your computer to high-speed infrastructure and storage without stepping down in speed. Setup is simple-install the low-profile card into an available x8 or x16 PCIe slot in your computer, install a driver, connect to the switch or 10GbE port via LC fiber optic or copper cable (sold separately) and then configure the card through the OS X Network control panel or Windows Device Manager. This Sonnet solution is perfect for high-performance computing, where low latency, high bandwidth and low CPU overhead are required. Its increased throughput performance and low host-CPU utilization is achieved with stateless offloads, allowing your computer to perform better while large files transfers or high I/O operations take place.

Ultra-Fast 10 Gb/s Network Connection
With increasing demands for greater data transfer speeds and more bandwidth over shared networks and with specialized applications such as HD video editing using high-performance shared storage systems, 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) use has skyrocketed. This high-speed wired networking standard offers ten times the performance of Gigabit Ethernet, the common wired network connection included with most computers today. Sonnet offers a powerfully simple way to add 10GbE connectivity to your Mac Pro or Windows PC-the Presto 10GbE 1-Port.

Flexibility of Short-Range or Long-Range SFP+ Transceivers
Sonnet offers two SFP+ transceiver options (sold separately), a short-range module (up to 300 meters, part number G10E-SFP-SR) and a long-range module (up to 10 kilometers, part number G10E-SFP-LR) that connect the Presto card via LC fibre optical cable (sold separately) to a network switch or storage.

Optimized for Thunderbolt
Presto 10GbE 1-Port is ideal for use in one of Sonnet's Echo Express Thunderbolt expansion chassis or the xMac mini Server-the combo enables you to add an ultra-fast 10GbE network connection to iMac, Mac mini, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro computers.
