The Areca Thunderbolt Bridge series consists of professional devices designed for users of Apple Mac computers running macOS, Windows computers, and workstations used in video production, photography, post-production, broadcasting, data centers, and business applications. Areca solutions enable the use of the extremely fast Thunderbolt interface to connect professional networking devices, storage, and SAS and Ethernet infrastructure, ensuring maximum performance and operational reliability.a
Devices in the Thunderbolt Bridge series serve as a bridge between a computer equipped with a Thunderbolt port and a professional storage or networking environment. Depending on the model, they support 12 Gb/s SAS, 10GbE, 25GbE, and 40GbE Ethernet interfaces, as well as other professional communication standards used in modern data centers and production studios.
