SONNET Solo 10G TB3 to 10GBASE-T Ethernet Adapter

SONNET Solo 10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition 10GBASE-T/ NBASE-T Ethernet Thunderbolt 3 Adapter

Blazing-Fast 10GBASE-T Connectivity at a Breakthrough Price

In recent years content creation and output have quickly moved from HD to 4K and beyond,
making 10Gb Ethernet the new data transfer standard for post-production shared storage
workgroups and other bandwidth intensive workflows. Very affordable 10Gb Ethernet switches
with RJ45 (copper) have significantly reduced the cost of setting up a 10GbE infrastructure,
resulting in very rapid adoption. Even the new iMac Pro™ includes 10Gb Ethernet as its standard
network interface. Now, for computers with a Thunderbolt™ 3 port, there is an equally affordable
Thunderbolt to 10Gb Ethernet adapter—Sonnet’s Solo 10G™ Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter, a
powerfully simple solution for adding blazing-fast 10GBASE-T 10GbE network connectivity to any
Mac® or Windows® computer with Thunderbolt 3 ports.

NBASE-T Support for Faster Transfers Across Existing Cabling

Does your facility have CAT 5e wiring installed already? You can still get a great performance gain—
from 250 to 500 percent over Gigabit Ethernet speed—without rewiring! The Solo 10G adapter
supports the NBASE-T™ industry-standard of 2.5/5 Gb link speeds, which enables greater than
Gigabit Ethernet speeds over CAT 5e (or better) cabling when used with an NBASE-T compatible
(multi-Gigabit) switch or router. This capability allows you to deploy the same adapter across an
organization for users supported by different Ethernet cabling infrastructures.
