Sonnet Solo 10G TB3 do 10Gb Base-T Ethernet Adapter
In recent years, content creation and production has rapidly moved from HD to 4K and beyond, making 10Gb Ethernet the new data transfer standard for post-production workgroups, storage and other bandwidth-intensive work.
Very affordable 10Gb/s Ethernet switches in the RJ45 standard have significantly reduced the cost of 10GbE infrastructure setup. Even the new iMac Pro™ includes 10Gb Ethernet as a standard network interface.
Now, for computers with a Thunderbolt™ 3 port, there's an equally affordable Thunderbolt 3 to 10Gb Ethernet adapter – the Sonnet Solo 10G™ Thunderbolt 3 Edition Adapter. It's an incredibly simple solution for adding blazing-fast 10GBASE-T 10GbE network connectivity to any Mac® computer or a Windows® 1o computer with Thunderbolt 3 ports.
The adapter Sonnet Solo 10G features a single RJ45 socket, allowing you to connect to a 10GbE infrastructure using low-cost CAT 6 or CAT 6A copper cabling at distances of up to 55 or 100 meters.
AVB support
Support for audio-video bridging (IEEE 802.1Qav, AVB) makes the adapter ideal for use in professional audio and video applications where synchronization of data streams is crucial.
Key features
