Product Description
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 fibre optic connectivity to your Mac Pro tower, Windows PC, or Linux server — the Sonnet Twin10G Dual Port SFP28 10Gb Ethernet PCIe Card.
To connect easily to your 10GbE optical network, Twin10G SFP28 PCIe Card includes two short-range multi-mode fibre SFP28 transceivers (up to 300 meters). Each Twin10G port supports ten times the performance of Gigabit Ethernet with even more bandwidth when combining ports.
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.
PERFECT COMPANION FOR ECHO AND XMAC THUNDERBOLT EXPANSION SYSTEMS
Use a free slot in a Sonnet multi-slot Echo or xMac Thunderbolt Expansion System to add dual-port optical 10Gb Ethernet to your computer without card slots. Twin10G SFP28 PCIe Card is packaged with both full-height and low-profile mounting brackets, enabling installation of the card into any PCIe slot.
INSTALL AND CONNECT – SIMPLE INSTALLATION
Simply download and install a driver, install Twin25G PCIe Card into a PCIe slot in your computer or Sonnet Thunderbolt Expansion System, install the included SFP28 modules, and then connect the card to the network switch or directly to 10GbE-enabled storage. Configure the adapter's settings through the macOS Network control panel, Windows Device Manager, or Linux command line (or graphical utility).
