Sonnet Twin10G SFP28 Thunderbolt Adapter
Add high-speed dual-port 10GbE optical networking to compatible Mac, Windows, and Linux computers through Thunderbolt. With two included short-range SFP28 optical transceivers, a Mellanox ConnectX controller, SMB Multichannel/team support, and rugged aluminum construction, the Twin10G SFP28 is built for pro workstations, shared storage, media workflows, and high-speed network environments.
High-Speed Optical 10GbE for Professional Workstations
The Sonnet Twin10G SFP28 Thunderbolt Adapter is designed for users who need a reliable external path to 10 Gigabit Ethernet without installing an internal PCIe card. It is a pre-configured Thunderbolt networking solution that combines Sonnet's Twin10G SFP28 PCIe card with an Echo Express SEL Thunderbolt expansion system, giving laptops, mini PCs, workstations, and production systems access to dual 10GbE optical connectivity.
Connect two 10GbE optical network links for shared storage, NAS, server access, media editing, backup, and high-throughput workstation workflows.
The package includes two installed short-range SFP28 optical transceivers for multi-mode fiber connectivity up to 300 meters.
One Thunderbolt port connects to the host computer while the second supports a Thunderbolt peripheral, USB device, or display.
Built for Throughput, Reliability, and Lower CPU Load
The Twin10G SFP28 uses a Mellanox ConnectX controller to deliver efficient network performance with minimal host CPU overhead. It supports jumbo frames, checksum offloading, flow control, receive-side scaling, multicast filtering, and advanced network features that help keep large file transfers smooth.
Compact, Rugged, and Nearly Noiseless
The adapter is small enough for most desktop setups and uses a rugged aluminum enclosure for protection. Its temperature-controlled variable-speed fan helps maintain cooling while keeping noise low enough for studios, editing rooms, and office workstations.
The included Thunderbolt cable and ThunderLok-A connector lock help prevent accidental cable disconnection during critical transfers.
Ideal for High-Speed Storage and Production Networks
Use the Twin10G SFP28 adapter to connect Thunderbolt-equipped computers to 10GbE switches, high-performance NAS systems, shared media storage, servers, render systems, and enterprise fiber networks.
High-bandwidth connectivity for video editing, asset movement, and shared project storage.
Dual optical 10GbE links for workstation-to-server or switch-based networking.
Fast backup, sync, ingest, and file transfer for demanding professional environments.
