Connect your Thunderbolt 3-equipped Mac or Windows PC to 10 Gb/s Ethernet with the Solo10G SFP+ Thunderbolt 3 Adapter with Short-Range SFP+ Transceiver from Sonnet. This compact adapter comes equipped with an SFP+ port capable of speeds up to 10 Gb/s, and it connects to your macOS or Windows system via an attached Thunderbolt 3 cable. The bus-powered adapter has a rugged aluminum shell designed for portability, while its Energy-Efficient Ethernet support helps to conserve power. Hardware encryption is designed to prevent hackers from tampering with the adapter's firmware. A short-range SFP+ transceiver is included.

Safe and Secure
As a networked conduit into your computer, the Solo10G SFP+ adapter was designed with essential security features. Incorporating encryption in hardware, the Sonnet adapter is protected against malicious modification of its firmware. Any unauthorized attempt at firmware modification to facilitate surreptitious computer access would render the adapter inoperable. This secure design prevents the Solo10G adapter’s firmware from being reprogrammed except by a manufacturer’s update using a secure encryption key.

Replaceable Captive Cable
Through the use of a captive cable, the Solo10G SFP+ adapter’s Thunderbolt connector remains firmly connected to it at all times. Should the cable ever break, it can easily be replaced with an approved replacement cable available from Sonnet or a Sonnet-authorized reseller.

Advanced Features, Intelligent Operation
The Solo10G SFP+ Thunderbolt 3 Edition adapter attains its high throughput performance and low host-CPU utilization 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 processes enable your computer to perform better while large files transfers or high I/O operations take place. This Sonnet adapter also supports the Energy-Efficient Ethernet standard (IEEE 802.3az), which reduces the adapter’s power demands on your computer.

Additional SFP+ Transceiver Choices
Sonnet includes a short-range multi-mode fiber SFP+ module (up to 984'), part number G10E-SFP-SR, with the Solo10G adapter. Sonnet also offers a long-range single-mode fiber module (up to 6.2 miles), part number G10E-SFP-LR (sold separately), and a 10GBASE-T copper module (up to 98' using Cat 6A cables), part number G10E-SFP-T (sold separately). Alternatively, you can use cost-effective direct-attach Twinax copper cables up to 32.8' long.

Pocketable, Bus-Powered, and Silent
Unlike most 10GbE adapters, the Solo10G SFP+ is pocketable—measuring only 3.1 inches wide by 4.9 inches deep by 1.1 inches tall—and bus-powered to enable truly portable use without a power adapter. Designed using the latest technologies, and wrapped in a rugged aluminum case, the Sonnet adapter is cool running and doesn’t need a fan, allowing silent and energy-efficient operation.

Simple Setup
How simple? Connect the Solo10G SFP+ adapter to your computer and to the network switch (or directly to 10GbE-enabled storage), and then configure the adapter’s settings through the macOS® Network control panel or Windows Device Manager.
