Advanced Features, Intelligent Operation

Solo10G adapter attains its high throughput performance and low host-CPU utilization through functions such as flow control, 64-bit address support for systems using more than 4GB of physical memory; and stateless offloads such as TCP, UDP and IPv4 checksum offloading. These processes enable your computer to perform better while large files transfers or high I/O operations take place. This Sonnet adapter supports Energy-Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az), which reduces the adapter’s power demands on your computer.

AVB Support

Audio Video Bridging (IEEE 802.1Qav, AVB) support for macOS makes this adapter perfect for use in pro audio and video applications where synchronization of data streams is critical.

NBASE-T Support for Faster Transfers Across Existing Cabling

If your facility has Cat 5e wiring installed already, you can still get a great performance gain — from 250 to 500 percent over Gigabit Ethernet speed — without rewiring! Solo10G adapter supports the NBASE-T™ industry-standard of 2.5/5 Gb link speeds, which enables greater than Gigabit Ethernet speeds over Cat 5e (or better) cabling when used with an NBASE-T compatible (multi-Gigabit) switch or router. Now you can deploy the same adapter across your organization for users supported by different Ethernet cabling infrastructures.

Thunderbolt Technology

Fastest External Interface Available

Sonnet Thunderbolt products feature a high-speed Thunderbolt interface that delivers PCIe bandwidth needed to support data transfers at full speed.

Thunderbolt Cable Included – Connect It Securely with ThunderLok-S

Solo10G Thunderbolt Adapter includes a Thunderbolt cable that supports Thunderbolt’s full bandwidth to ensure maximum performance. To avoid accidental disconnections between the cable and the adapter, Sonnet provides an excellent solution: ThunderLok™-S (sold separately). This Thunderbolt connector retainer clip securely holds the cable in place, ensuring a reliable connection.

Safe and Secure

‍‍As a networked conduit into your computer, Solo10G adapter was designed with essential security features. Incorporating encryption in hardware, this Sonnet adapter is protected against malicious modification of its firmware. Any unauthorized attempt at firmware modification to facilitate surreptitious computer access would render the adapter inoperable. This secure design prevents Solo10G adapter firmware from being reprogrammed except by a manufacturer’s update using a secure encryption key.

Compatible with Current Thunderbolt Computers and Apple M series Macs
