Solo 10G SFP + PCIe Card
PCIe 3.0 Card with Short-Range SFP and Transceiver
Blazing-Fast 10GbE Connectivity Over Optical Cables
Made possible by advances in technology, plus cheaper gear, more content than ever is captured and outputted at 4K and higher resolutions. The resulting files are larger than ever. For post-production shared storage workgroups and other bandwidth-intensive workflows, 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) has become the new data transfer standard.
While very affordable 10GbE switches have helped to significantly reduce the expense of setting up 10GbE infrastructure, the price of adding client connectivity, especially fiber optic connections has remained a barrier for some. Now, there is an equally affordable 10GbE interface for your desktop and workstation computers—Sonnet´s Solo10G™ SFP+ PCIe® Card, a powerfully simple solution for adding blazing-fast fiber optic 10GbE network connectivity to Mac®, Windows®, and Linux®computers.
The Solo10G SFP+ PCIe Card includes a 10GBASE-SR (short-range) SFP+ transceiver (the most commonly-used optical transceiver), enabling you to connect your computer to 10GbE infrastructure via LC optical cable (optical cables sold separately) at distances up to 300 meters.
Highlights
- Adds 10GBASE-T 10GbE Connectivity—Adds an RJ45 10 Gigabit Ethernet port to your computer with PCIe slots
- Cost-Effective—Low-cost PCIe card connects to 10GbE infrastructure via inexpensive CAT 6 or CAT 6A cables at distances up to 55 or 100 meters, respectively
- Features NBASE-T Technology—5 Gb/s and 2.5 Gb/s speeds supported over existing CAT 5e (or better) cabling at distances up to 100 meters
- Supports AVB—Audio Video Bridging (IEEE 802.1Qav, AVB)
- Optimized for Thunderbolt—Ideal for use in Sonnet’s Echo™ Express and xMac™ Thunderbolt-to-PCIe card expansion systems
- Easy Setup—Configure using your computer’s operating system network device configuration tools
