Blazing 10GbE Optical Networking

Twin10G SFP28 PCIe Card

Dual-port SFP28 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Card with Two SFP28 Transceivers for Mac, Windows and Linux Computers, and Thunderbolt Expansion Systems with PCIe Slots

Add Blazing-fast Optical 10GbE Connectivity

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 — Twin10G™ SFP28 PCIe Card.

Includes Two SFP28 Transceivers
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).

Long Range SFP28 Transceivers Available
Sonnet also offers long-range single-mode fiber modules that support 10Gb connections at up to 10 kilometers.

More Bandwidth
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.
