Twin10G SFP28 PCIe Card (Dual-port • 10GbE • Includes two SFP28 transceivers)
Part No. G10E-SFP-2XM-E3
Blazing 10GbE Optical Networking
Twin10G SFP28 PCIe Card
Dual-port SFP28 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Card with Two SFP28 Transceivers
Ultra-fast Optical 10GbE Network Connectivity
With increasing demands for greater data transfer speeds and more bandwidth over shared networks, and with specialized applications such as 4K 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 most common wired network connection included with most computers today. Sonnet offers a powerfully simple way to add dual-port 10GbE fiber optic connectivity to your Mac Pro tower, Windows or Linux PC or server — Twin10G™ SFP28 PCIe Card.
Includes Two SFP28 Transceivers: Easy Network Connection
The SFP28 transceivers are compatible with network switches equipped with SFP+ transceivers – and connect via the same LC/LC cables – ensuring the same optical 10GbE connectivity as an SFP+ card.
More Bandwidth: 10x the Performance of Gigabit Ethernet
Each Twin10G port supports ten times the performance of Gigabit Ethernet with even more bandwidth when combining ports.
SMB Multichannel Support: Maximizes Throughput and Reliability with SMB Multichannel
Harness the full potential of Sever Message Block (SMB) Multichannel support with our Twin10G SFP28 PCIe Card. When both ports are connected to your SMB server, you can combine their bandwidth to achieve significantly higher data transfer speeds, and more. SMB Multichannel support brings several key benefits:
-
Increased Throughput – By utilizing two network connections, the bandwidth of each port can be combined to deliver twice the data transfer rate.
-
Increased Scalability – Easily expand your network’s capabilities. As your infrastructure grows, connect the additional Twin10G port to scale throughput without complex reconfiguration.
- Improved Fault Tolerance – Seamlessly keeps your computer connected in case a single cable is disconnected or one of the ports fails.
- Enhanced Load Balancing – Network traffic is dynamically distributed across available connections to prevent congestion and optimize performance under varying network demands.
- Reduced Latency – Minimizes delays by balancing traffic paths to enhance responsiveness in real-time operations.
