Add a 10 Gb/s Ethernet connection to your compatible Windows, Mac, or Linux system with the 10G Ethernet PCIe 3.0 Card - Sonnet 1-Port Solofrom Sonnet. Ideal for 4K post-production shared storage workgroups and other bandwidth-intensive workflows, the low-profile Solo 10GB PCIe card connects to an available PCIe 3.0 slot in your system, and it's equipped with a single RJ45 Ethernet connector.

The Solo 10GB card allows for 10 Gb/s transfer rates at distances up to 328' using Cat 6A cabling, or up to 180' with Cat 6 cabling. The NBASE-T-enabled Solo also supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gb/s over Cat 5e cables. The Solo's support for Audio Video Bridging standards makes it ideal for use in pro audio and video applications that demand precise synchronization of data streams. The card comes with both low-profile and full-height brackets.

The Solo 10G PCIe Card supports the NBASE-T standard of up to 5 Gb/s link speeds over CAT 5e (or better) cabling at distances up to 328' when used with a multi-Gigabit switch or router. This capability allows you to deploy the same card across an organization for users supported by different Ethernet cabling infrastructures.

The Solo 10G PCIe card's 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 are designed to boost performance during large files transfers or high I/O operations.

Install the Solo 10G PCIe card in your computer or Thunderbolt expansion system, connect to the network switch or directly to 10 Gb/s-enabled storage, and configure the card's settings through operating system network device configuration tools.

The Solo10G PCIe Card is packaged with both full-height and low-profile mounting brackets, enabling installation of the card into most PCIe slots.

You can use the Solo 10G card in a Thunderbolt 2- or Thunderbolt 3-to-PCIe expansion chassis, or in one of Sonnet's Echo Express or xMac Thunderbolt-to-PCIe card multi-slot expansion systems. The combination allows you to add a 10 Gb/s network connection to a Mac with Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt 3 ports, or a Windows PC with Thunderbolt 3 ports.

Q: 1. Can this car be added to a windows pc? Also can it be link aggregated?

A: The Synology E10G30-T2 2-Port 10G RJ45 Ethernet to PCIe 3.0 Adapter Card, B&H # SYE10G30T2, is designed to work with specific Synology NAS enclosures, it does not officially support Windows OS. Link aggregation is supported when using it with a compatible Synology NAS.

Q: 2. Is this card 3.0x8 (x8 or x16 electrical)?

A: The Synology E10G21-F2 Dual Port 10G SFP+ PCIe 3.0 Ethernet Adapter uses a PCIe 3.0 x8 electrical connection.

Q: 3. Willo this card work on a MAC PRO 5.1?

A: For use on a Mac this card requires MacOS 12.x Monterey.

Q: 4. Will this work with an early 2009 Mac Pro (4,1)?

A: Yes, it is compatible. For more specs about your Mac you can check out: EveryMac https://everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-quad-core-2.66-early-2009-nehalem-specs.html

Q: 5. I have a Mac Pro 3,1 running OS X El Capitan. Is there a network PCI-e card that is compatable with this setup ?

Q: 6. Will this work with/install in OWC Mercury Helios 3S Thunderbolt 3 PCle enclosure?

A: Yes, the Sonnet 1-Port Solo 10G Ethernet PCI Express 3.0 Card can be used with a PCIe enclosure such as the OWC Mercury Helios 3S.

Q: 7. Will this card work in a Gen 3 slot?

A: Yes, the OWC 10G Ethernet PCIe Network Card would work in a PCIe 3.0 slot. However, it would be limited to PCIe 3.0 speeds.

Q: 8. Will this card work with Windows 11 64bit?

A: Yes, the OWC OWCPCIE10GB is compatible with Windows 11 64-bit.

Q: 9. Does this support multi-vlan?

A: Sonnet does not provide any information about VLAN support for this product. You could implement a Layer 2 switch, which would give you the multi-VLAN support without having to change your ethernet adapter. Ubiquiti Unifi switches are an example of such solutions.

Q: 10. Will this work on the ASRock X99 Extreme4 ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard?

A: Yes, this will work with that model of motherboard.
