—Lightning-Fast 10GBASE-T Connectivity Over Thunderbolt 2—
With increasing demand for greater data transfer speeds, more bandwidth, and support for 4K video editing via shared storage systems, the need for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) networking has skyrocketed. Now that very affordable 10GbE switches with RJ45 (copper) are available, the cost of setting up a 10GbE infrastructure has been significantly reduced. The problem is, most computers aren’t equipped to get you connected. If you have a computer with a Thunderbolt port, Sonnet has a simple solution—the Twin10G Thunderbolt 2 Edition.

Equipped with two RJ45 ports, the Twin10G connects to 10GbE infrastructure via inexpensive Cat 6 or Cat 6A copper cabling at distances up to 55 or 100 meters, respectively. This adapter is a powerful and cost-effective way to add dual-port 10GBASE-T connectivity to your Mac® with Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt ports, or Windows® computer with Thunderbolt 2 ports.
