Product Overview
For workgroups in post-production and other bandwidth-heavy tasks, 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) might fall short in delivering the needed performance. Transitioning to 25Gb Ethernet (25GbE) is a strategic move, enhancing performance while often using the same network infrastructure as 10GbE. Sonnet’s Twin25G™ offers an affordable solution to equip Mac®, Windows®, or Linux® computers with Thunderbolt™ 4 or 3 ports with fast 25GbE fiber optic connectivity.
