Sonnet Solo10G 10GBASE-T (Ethernet 1-Port PCIe Card)

With the latest advances in technology, plus increasingly affordable gear, capturing content in 4K and higher resolutions and switching output has become faster – the need for Gigabit Ethernet speeds to transfer all that data has accelerated equally fast. For post-production shared storage workgroups and other bandwidth-intensive workflows, 10Gb Ethernet is the new data transfer standard. Its adoption accelerated, very affordable 10Gb Ethernet switches with RJ45 (copper) significantly reduced the cost of installing 10GbE infrastructure, but the price of adding customer connectivity remained a barrier for some. Now, the equally affordable 10Gb Ethernet interface for desktop and workstation computers - Sonnet Solo10G™ PCIe Card is a powerful simple solution for adding blazing fast 10GBASE-T 10GbE network connectivity to Mac®, Windows® and Linux® computers at a sure price.
