Are you looking for the most economical dual-port approach to connecting to a high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) fiber network using the Thunderbolt™ 4 or Thunderbolt 3 port on your Mac, Windows, or Linux computer? You’ll need an adapter. Sonnet’s Twin10G™ SFP+ adapter is the powerfully simple solution for adding blazing-fast dual-port 10GbE optical network connectivity to your computer.
To connect easily to your 10GbE optical network, Sonnet’s Twin10G SFP+ now includes two short-range multi-mode fibre 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceivers (up to 300 meters), part number G10E-SFP-SR, at no extra cost.
Sonnet also offers two additional SFP+ transceiver options (sold separately) – a long-range single-mode fiber module (up to 10 kilometers), part number G10E-SFP-LR; and a 10GBASE-T copper module (up to 30 meters using Cat 6A cables), part number G10E-SFP-T. Alternatively, you can use cost-effective direct-attach Twinax copper cables up to 10 meters long (sold separately).
Equipped with two SFP+ transceivers, the Twin10G SFP+ adapter supports ten times the performance of Gigabit Ethernet and more bandwidth over shared networks.
Simply powerful way to add dual 10GbE SFP+ connections to your computer with Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt 3 ports.
High-performance adapter includes two 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceivers. Additional SFP+ transceiver choices available (sold separately).
Configure the adapter’s settings using operating system tools.
Offers full advantage of the bandwidth performance of Thunderbolt.
One port connects to computer; second port supports daisy-chaining additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices.
Adapter is rugged and small enough to sit on most any work surface, and quiet enough for use in noise-sensitive environments.
Keeps your computer connected in case a single cable is disconnected or one of the ports fails.
Increases throughput beyond what a single connection can sustain (Windows and Linux).
Optimized to meet VMWare’s highest level of endorsement.
Supports Apple M series Macs, and Intel Macs with Thunderbolt 3 ports.
Supports Windows computers Thunderbolt 5, 4, or 3 ports.
Supports Linux computers with Thunderbolt 5, 4, or 3 ports.
Founded in 1986 in Orange County, Southern California — the vibrant hub of technology and engineering south of Silicon Valley — Sonnet has been at the forefront of innovation. Over the years, we've developed numerous award-winning products that enhance performance and connectivity for Mac, Windows, and other industry-standard computers. Many of our team members have been with us for over two decades, providing us with extensive expertise about our current and past offerings. If you ever need technical support for any of our products, don’t hesitate to reach out; we’re here to assist you.
Simply connect the Twin10G SFP+ adapter to your computer via the included 40Gbps Thunderbolt cable, download and install a driver, install SFP+ module(s) (sold separately), connect the adapter to the network switch or directly to 10GbE-enabled storage, and configure the adapter’s settings through the macOS® Network control panel, Windows Device Manager, or Linux command line (or graphical utility).
The Twin10G SFP+ adapter’s high throughput performance and low host-CPU utilization are attained 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 operations enable your computer to perform better while large files transfers or high I/O operations take place. This Sonnet adapter’s dual 10GbE connections support transparent failover to keep your computer connected in case a single cable is disconnected or one of the ports fail. Windows and Linux also support link aggregation (teaming) for increased throughput!
Many Sonnet Thunderbolt products featuring Thunderbolt ports come equipped with threaded mounting holes to securely attach Sonnet ThunderLok retainer clips, preventing Thunderbolt cables from accidentally disconnecting.
Sonnet Thunderbolt products feature a high-speed Thunderbolt interface that delivers PCIe bandwidth needed to support data transfers at full speed.
Compatible with Apple M series Macs
(See Tech Specs for details)
Twin10G SFP+ adapter is compatible with Macs with Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt ports when used with the bi-directional Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter and a Thunderbolt cable (both sold separately).
