Upgrade your system with blazing-fast 10GbE optical networking using the Sonnet Solo10G SFP+ V2 PCIe Card. Designed for Mac Pro, Windows, and Linux computers with PCIe slots, this high-performance adapter delivers ten times the bandwidth of standard Gigabit Ethernet — ideal for high-resolution video editing, large file transfers, and shared storage workflows.
The Solo10G SFP+ V2 includes a short-range multi-mode fiber transceiver for out-of-the-box compatibility with optical 10GbE networks up to 300 meters. Need longer distances? Sonnet offers optional SFP28 transceivers for single-mode fiber up to 10 km.
Setup is simple: install the driver, insert the card into any x8 or x16 PCIe slot (brackets for both full-height and low-profile slots included), and connect it to a switch or 10GbE storage system. Configuration is done directly through your operating system — macOS, Windows, or Linux.
Whether you’re upgrading a Mac Pro or adding 10GbE to a Thunderbolt™ expansion chassis, this card ensures low latency, high bandwidth, and minimal CPU overhead. Backed by Sonnet’s 2-year warranty and lifetime support.
