Solo10G SFP+ PCIe Card (Single-port • 10GbE • Includes SFP+ Transceiver)

Part No. G10E-SFP-1X-E3.

Blazing-fast 10GBASE-T Connectivity Over Optical Cables

Solo10G SFP+ PCIe Card

Single-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Card with Short-range SFP+ Transceiver for Mac, Windows and Linux Computers, and Thunderbolt Expansion Systems with PCIe Slots

Ultra-fast 10GbE Connectivity

Made possible by advances in technology — plus cheaper gear — more content than ever is captured and outputted at 4K and higher resolutions. The resulting files are larger than ever. For post-production shared storage workgroups and other bandwidth-intensive workflows, 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) has become the new data transfer standard.

While very affordable 10GbE switches have helped to significantly reduce the expense of setting up 10GbE infrastructure, the price of adding client connectivity — especially fiber optic connections — has remained a barrier for some. Now, there is an equally affordable 10GbE interface for your desktop and workstation computers — Solo10G™ SFP+ PCIe Card, Sonnet’s powerfully simple solution for adding blazing-fast fiber optic 10GbE network connectivity to your Mac Pro^® tower (2010 - 2023), Windows^® PC and Linux^® desktop or server, or Thunderbolt™ Expansion System.

10x the Performance of Gigabit Ethernet

Solo10G SFP+ PCIe Card includes a 10GBASE-SR (short-range) SFP+ transceiver (the most commonly-used optical transceiver), enabling you to connect your computer to 10GbE infrastructure via LC optical cable (sold separately) at distances up to 300 meters.

Additional SFP+ Transceiver Choices

Sonnet includes a short-range multi-mode fiber SFP+ module (up to 300 meters) installed with the Solo10G SFP+ card. Sonnet also offers a long-range single-mode fiber module (up to 10 kilometers), part number G10E-SFP-LR (sold separately). Alternatively, you can use cost-effective direct-attach Twinax copper cables (up to 10 meters long).

Advanced Feature Support

Solo10G SFP+ PCIe Card 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 processes enable your computer to perform better while large files transfers or high I/O operations take place.

Simple Setup

How simple? Install Solo10G SFP+ PCIe Card in your computer or Thunderbolt Expansion System, connect to the network switch or directly to 10GbE-enabled storage, and configure the card’s settings through your computer’s operating system network device configuration tools.

Includes Two Mounting Brackets

Solo10G SFP+ PCIe Card is packaged with both full-height and low-profile mounting brackets, enabling installation of the card into any PCIe slot.

Optimized for Thunderbolt

Got a Thunderbolt connection, but no PCIe slot? This Ethernet PCIe card is ideal for use in one of Sonnet's Thunderbolt to PCIe Card Expansion Systems — the combo enables you to add ultra-fast 10GbE network connections to any supported computer with a Thunderbolt port.

Perfect for the Extra Slot In Your Multi-slot Thunderbolt Expansion System

Have a multi-slot Sonnet Thunderbolt Expansion System with an open slot? Installing a Solo10G SFP+ PCIe Card is an excellent way to inexpensively add 10GbE connectivity to your computer.
