10 Gigabit Cabled Networking

Twin10G 10GBASE-T PCIe Card

Dual-port 10GBASE-T 10 Gigabit Ethernet Card with SFP+ Transceivers for Mac, Windows and Linux Computers, and Thunderbolt Expansion Systems with PCIe Slots

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 video editing using high-performance shared storage systems, it’s no wonder that 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) use has skyrocketed — this high-speed cabled networking standard offers ten times the performance of Gigabit Ethernet, the common wired network connection included with most computers today. With Twin10G SFP+ PCIe Card, Sonnet offers a powerfully simple way to add dual-port 10GbE connectivity via two SFP+ transceivers to your Mac Pro^® tower (2008 - 2023), Windows^® PC and Linux^® desktop or server, or Thunderbolt™ Expansion System.

Simple Set-up. High-performance Networking.

Twin10G SFP+ PCIe Card enables you to connect your computer to high-speed infrastructure and storage without stepping down in speed. Setup is simple — install driver software, plug Twin10G SFP+ PCIe Card into an available x8 or x16 PCIe slot, connect LC optical cables (sold separately) between transceivers in the Twin10G card and the ports on the switch or device, and configure the card through macOS^® 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 are achieved through functions such as support for 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 off2loading, enabling your computer to perform better while large files transfers or high I/O operations take place. With its dual ports, this Sonnet adapter supports transparent failover to keep your computer connected in case a single cable is disconnected or one of the ports fails, and it also supports link aggregation (teaming) for increased throughput!

Network Connection Flexibility

Twin10G SFP+ PCIe Card currently includes two short-range SFP+ transceivers. You have the flexibility of replacing them with different transceivers and/or cables (sold separately): long-range SFP+ transceivers; RJ45 SFP+ copper transceivers connected via Cat 6A cables at distances of up to 30 meters; or direct-attached SFP+-terminated copper cables up to 10 meters long. 

Optimized for Thunderbolt

Got a Thunderbolt connection, but no PCIe slot? This Ethernet PCIe card is ideal for use in one of Sonnet's Thunderbolt to PCIe Card Expansion Systems — the combo enables you to add ultra-fast 10GbE network connections to any supported computer with a Thunderbolt port.

Key Features

• Adds 10GbE Connectivity to Mac, Windows, Linux, and Thunderbolt Expansion Systems – Powerfully simple way to add high-performance 10GbE connectivity to your computer or Thunderbolt Expansion System with PCIe slots.
  
• Includes Two Short-range SFP+ Transceivers – Twin10G SFP+ is configured with two short-range multi-mode fibre modules (up to 300 meters). Transceivers can also be replaced with long-range SFP+ transceivers or RJ45 SFP+ copper transceivers (sold separately). Note: for switch or device connection, LC/LC fiber optic cables required (sold separately).
• Optimized for Thunderbolt – Ideal for use in Sonnet Thunderbolt to PCIe Card Expansion Systems.
• Cost Effective – Connects to 10GbE infrastructure via inexpensive CAT-6 or CAT-6A cables at distances up to 55 or 100 meters, respectively.
• Simple Setup – Low-profile x4 PCIe card installs into an available PCIe slot, and after a simple driver installation, configures through macOS Network control panel or Windows Device Manager.
• Supports Transparent Failover – Keeps your computer connected in case a single cable is disconnected or one of the ports fails.
• Supports Link Aggregation (Teaming) – Increases throughput beyond what a single connection can sustain.
• Compatibility – Compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux computers, and Thunderbolt Expansion Systems with PCIe slots. See official product page Tech Specs for latest computer, OS, and support compatibility information.
• Package Contents – Twin10G 10GBASE-T PCIe Card with two short-range SFP+ transceivers (up to 300 meters); low-profile PCIe bracket; and documentation.
• Warranty – 2-year product warranty.
  
• Customer Support – Free lifetime customer technical support.
• The Sonnet Advantage – Designed and engineered in the USA. Since 1986.
  
• NOTE: Twin10G SFP+ PCIe Card requires one or two LC/LC fibre optic cables (sold separately) to connect to switch or device.
