10GBASE-T Thunderbolt 3 to 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with NBASE-T Support
Blazing-fast 10GBASE-T Connectivity at a Breakthrough Price
As network bandwidth demands for post-production and shared storage workflows have increased, 10Gb Ethernet has become the new data transfer standard. Very affordable 10Gb Ethernet switches have significantly reduced the cost of setting up a 10GbE infrastructure, resulting in very rapid adoption. Now, for computers with a Thunderbolt 3 port, there is an equally affordable Thunderbolt to 10Gb Ethernet adapter-Sonnet's Solo10G (Thunderbolt 3 Edition) adapter, a powerfully simple solution for adding blazing-fast 10GBASE-T 10GbE network connectivity to any Mac®, Windows®, or Linux® computer with Thunderbolt 3 ports.
Connect to 10GbE Infrastructure
The Solo10G adapter is equipped with a single RJ45 socket, enabling it to connect to 10GbE infrastructure via inexpensive Cat 6 or Cat 6A copper cabling at distances up to 55 or 100 meters, respectively. Oh, and it's priced at a level that seemed impossible even a year ago.

Pocketable. Bus-Powered. Silent.
The Solo10G is pocketable-measuring just 3.1 inches wide by 4.5 inches deep by 1.1 inches tall-and bus-powered to enable truly portable use without a power adapter. Wrapping the latest technologies in a rugged aluminum case, Sonnet designed a cool-running adapter that doesn't need a fan, allowing silent and energy-efficient operation.
Simple Setup
Connect the Solo10G adapter to your computer, and the adapter to the network switch or directly to 10GbE-enabled storage, and then configure the adapter's settings through the macOS Network control panel, Windows Device Manager(3), or Linux command line (or graphical utility). How's that for simple?
