10 Gigabit Cabled Networking
Ultra-Fast 10 Gb/s Network Connection
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 its no wonder that 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) use has skyrocketedthis 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 serverthe Presto 10GbE SFP+.(1)

Simple Set-Up. High-Performance Computing.
The Presto 10GbE SFP+ dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express 2.0 adapter card enables you to connect your computer to high-speed infrastructure and storage without stepping down in speed. Setup is simpleafter installing the low-profile card into an available x8 or x16 PCIe slot in your computer just download and install a driver connect to the switch or devices 10GbE port via LC optical cables (SFP+ optical transceivers and optical cables sold separately) CAT-6 or CAT-6A copper cables (RJ45 SFP+ copper transceivers and cables sold separately) or direct attach Twinax copper cables (sold separately) and then configure the card through the OS X Network control panel or Windows Device Manager. This Sonnet solution is perfect for high-performance computing where low latency high bandwidth and low CPU overhead are required.

Its increased throughput performance and low host-CPU utilization are achieved through functions such as support for 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 off2loading enabling your computer to perform better while large files transfers or high I/O operations take place. With its dual ports this Sonnet adapter supports transparent failover to keep your computer connected in case a single cable is disconnected or one of the ports fails and it also supports link aggregation (teaming)(2) for increased throughput!

Flexibility of SFP+ Transceiver Choices
Sonnet offers three SFP+ transceiver options (sold separately)a
short-range multi-mode fiber module (up to 300 meters) part number G10E-SFP-SR; a long-range single-mode fiber module (up to 10 kilometers) part number G10E-SFP-LR; and a 10GBASE-T copper module part number G10E-SFP-T (Cat 6A cable up to 100 meters). Alternatively you can use cost-effective direct-attach Twinax copper cables up to 10 meters long (sold separately).

Optimized for Thunderbolt
Got a Thunderbolt connection but no PCIe slot? Presto 10GbE SFP+ is ideal for use in one of Sonnets Echo Express or xMac Thunderbolt-to-PCIe card expansion systemsthe combo enables you to add ultra-fast 10GbE network connections to any Mac or Windows PC with a Thunderbolt 2 port.
