Many post-production shared storage workgroups and other bandwidth-intensive workflows have reached a point where 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) does not provide enough bandwidth and speed for optimum performance. Stepping up to 25Gb Ethernet (25GbE) makes a lot of sense — it offers greater performance and often works with the same optical network infrastructure as 10GbE. For these workgroups, there is now a cost-effective 25GbE interface for your Mac®, Windows®, or Linux® computer with Thunderbolt™ 4 or Thunderbolt 3 ports — Sonnet’s Twin25G™, an affordable yet powerful solution for adding incredibly-fast fiber optic 25GbE network connectivity.
Key Features
Adds High-performance 25GbEConnectivity
Simply powerful way to add dual optical 25GbE connections to any computer with Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt ports.
SFP28 Transceivers Included
High-performance adapter includes two 25GBASE SFP28 transceivers.
Backward Compatible
Adapter also supports 10GbE — enables you to integrate with 10GbE infrastructure now and upgrade your switch or shared storage system to 25GbE later.
Mac Compatible, Including Apple M series Macs
Supports Apple M series and Macs with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt/USB4, and Thunderbolt 3 ports.
Windows Compatible
Supports Windows computers with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 ports.
Linux Compatible
Supports Linux computers with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 ports.
40Gbps Thunderbolt Device
40Gbps Thunderbolt supports the full bandwidth of one 25GbE port.
Two Thunderbolt Ports
One port connects to computer; second port provides 15W for a Thunderbolt or USB 3 device; or to connect up to an 8K display.
Compact. Nearly Noiseless.
Adapter is small enough to comfortably fit on any desktop, and quiet enough for use in noise-sensitive environments. You’ll hardly notice it’s there.
