OWC - Network adapter

Engage Warp Speed File Transfers Anywhere

Add warp speed bus-powered file transfers to your workflow by connecting the OWC Thunderbolt 10G Ethernet Adapter to your Thunderbolt 3/4/5 or USB4 Mac or PC. Now you can access 10GBASE-T 10Gb Ethernet networks and other devices, such as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) system, to transfer large multimedia files at over 900MB/s real-world speed. While improving project efficiency and workgroup collaboration with the quickest network connection available, this adapter is also backwards compatible with other Ethernet standards including 5GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T, and 100BASE-Tx.

Bottleneck-Free Editing Collaboration

For post-production to work at maximum efficiency, multiple editors need to collaborate and work as a team. Keep projects on schedule and under budget with the OWC Thunderbolt 10G Ethernet Adapter by giving multiple editing workstations the bandwidth needed for sharing and editing data intensive creative content like video, animation, and graphics. Now editing can take place directly from files on a shared RAID storage device or NAS such as the OWC Jupiter Mini or OWC Jupiter Callisto, without the time waste of downloading files to individual workstations.

For teams using an OWC Jellyfish shared storage system, each editor can connect via their own OWC Thunderbolt 10G Ethernet Adapter to maximize throughput and ensure seamless playback and editing performance. Advanced users can even connect multiple adapters to a single machine and utilize link aggregation to unlock even greater bandwidth (20-40Gbps) when working with ultra-high-resolution footage or multicam projects.

Ideal for Ethernet Limited Computers

The OWC Thunderbolt 10G Ethernet Adapter opens a world of high-performance network connectivity to Thunderbolt 3/4/5 and USB4 notebook computers that lack built-in Ethernet connectivity and to desktop machines handcuffed by the standard old and slow 1GbE port.

Maximizes SOHO Networks

It's become common for budget-constrained yet performance-oriented creative professionals in small or home offices seeking to connect to a 2.5Gb/s-5Gb/s equipped router or switch without incurring the extra expense of a full 10Gb Ethernet network. Unfortunately, these pros are often limited to Gigabit Ethernet (1Gb/s) speed by their computer. By simply adding the OWC Thunderbolt 10G Ethernet Adapter to their machine, photographers, videographers, musicians, and other content creators can now enjoy greater signal reliability, stability, and security with up to 5x faster speed on 2.5-5Gb/s networks and up to 10x faster speed on 10Gb Ethernet networks.

Dramatically Increases Performance and ROI of Existing Network

With an ideal combination of affordability and performance, most wired local area networks installed over the past two decades utilize Cat 5e or Cat 6 copper cabling. Thanks to its built-in 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T technology, the OWC Thunderbolt 10G Ethernet Adapter can deliver up to 5Gb/s speed over existing cabling for up to a 500% performance increase and maximum infrastructure ROI.

Built for Optimum Network and CPU Performance

The OWC Thunderbolt 10G Ethernet Adapter achieves its blazing fast transfer speed and keeps your computer performing at peak because it was built with advanced features such as flow control and 64-bit address support; TCP, UDP, and IPv4 checksum offloading; and TSO, LRO, and RSS stateless offloads.
