With increasing demands for greater data transfer speeds and more bandwidth over shared networks, and with specialized applications such as HD 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 common wired network connection included with most computers today. Sonnet offers a powerfully simple way to add dual-port 10GbE connectivity to your Mac Pro tower, Windows PC, or Linux server - the Presto 10GbE SFP+.
Adds 10GbE connectivity to Mac Pro towers, Windows PCs, or Linux Servers - powerfully simple way to add high-performance 10GbE connectivity to your computer with PCIe slots
Optimized for Thunderbolt - ideal for use in Sonnet's Echo Express and xMac Thunderbolt-to-PCIe card expansion systems
Simple setup - low-profile x8 PCI Express 2.0 card installs into an available slot, and after a simple driver installation, configures through OS X Network control panel or Windows Device Manager
Supports transparent failover - keeps your computer connected in case a single cable is disconnected or one of the ports fails
Supports link aggregation (teaming) - increases throughput beyond what a single connection can sustain
