Unlock blazing-fast file transfers and smooth network collaboration with the OWC Thunderbolt to 10G Ethernet Adapter. Designed for modern creative workflows, this compact adapter connects via Thunderbolt 3, 4, 5, or USB4 and delivers real-world transfer speeds of up to 900MB/s — perfect for editing large media files, connecting to NAS systems, or working directly from shared RAID storage without delay.
It’s not just fast — it’s efficient. With native support for 10GBASE-T plus full backwards compatibility with 5GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T, and 100BASE-Tx, it works with your existing network cabling and gear. Built-in AVB support ensures low-latency audio and video streaming for pro AV setups, and Wake-on-LAN capability means you can remotely wake up your system when needed.
The rugged aluminum chassis doubles as a silent heat sink, eliminating the need for noisy fans. Compact and bus-powered, it’s made for portability — no bulky power adapter required. Whether you’re maximizing ROI on older Cat 5e/6 infrastructure or building a next-gen setup with 10GbE switches, this adapter’s got you covered.
It even includes a certified 0.3M Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) cable and rubber sleeve for added durability. Whether you're at a workstation, on the go, or managing a multi-user post-production team, the OWC Thunderbolt to 10G Ethernet Adapter delivers uncompromising speed, stability, and convenience.
