Using Gigabit Ethernet in pro settings is like trying to win a carnival ball toss game. The hole is smaller than the ball and you lose a lot of time and money trying to overcome that limitation. By opening your data flow up with the OWC 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Network Card, you can download, share, and save files at over 900 MB/s. That's up to 10x faster than standard Ethernet, so you can beat project deadlines and keep them under budget. If you're a video editor, creative pro, musician, or gamer, this 10G network interface card (NIC) will deliver blazing-fast transfer speeds with signal reliability, stability, and security wherever you work or play.

Filmmakers

When the shoot is done, transfer 4.0TB of 4K footage in just over an hour vs over 10 hours.

Video Editing Teams

Streamline your workflow, add incredibly powerful collaboration, and work with up to 8K files without dropped frames by adding this card to workstations connected to editing storage such as the OWC Jellyfish.

Audio Producers

Create a memorable performance at stadiums, auditoriums, studios, and other live sound settings by streaming volumes of audio and video data to multiple destinations in real time with latency-free AVB precision quality.

Photographers

After ingesting CFX and SD media cards, send 1000 raw files (52MB each) to a NAS or remote server in under 45 seconds.

Like all OWC solutions with innovation as standard equipment, this card was purposefully designed to offer warp speed file transfers in a variety of applications.

Internally

Mac Pro 2019 and PC systems with an open PCIe slot, Windows/Linux-based application servers, and shared storage (NAS) like the OWC Jupiter Callisto.

Externally

If your machine or NAS lacks Ethernet connectivity or is limited to 1 Gb/s Ethernet, you can install the OWC 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Network Card in a PCIe expansion chassis like the OWC Mercury Helios 3S. Greater signal reliability, stability, and security with up to 10x faster speed on 10Gb Ethernet networks and up to 5x faster speed on 2.5 to 5Gb/s networks are within your reach.

Whether you're laying down some hypnotic drum tracks in a separate room or rocking a memorable live performance as a front-of-house mixing engineer, the OWC 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Network Card is ready to help you make sweet music. Its Audio Video Bridging (IEEE 802.1Qav, AVB) readiness can send and receive highest quality audio and video media streams in real-time to multiple destinations over existing network cable.

Most wired local area networks installed over the past two decades utilize Cat 5e or Cat 6 copper cabling and offer the ideal combination of affordability and performance. Unfortunately, these setups are limited to a maximum speed of 1 Gb/s. Don't fret, as OWC's little gem of a networking card has got your back with 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T support. This means that this multi-capable 10G card can deliver up to 5 Gb/s speed with existing cabling for up to a 500% performance increase and maximum infrastructure ROI.

Transferring large amounts of data or high I/O operations can slow things down. But the OWC 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Network Card is no ordinary card. It's ready to handle up to 16KB jumbo frames for a dramatic reduction in network transactions and less bandwidth use. Additionally, advanced IP, TCP, UDPO checksum, and Large Send offload processes ensure your computer's optimum performance when large file transfers or high I/O operations occur.

There's more to a network than moving data fast. It needs to perform reliably and cost-effectively as well. With built-in Quality of Service (QoS) technology, this 10GbE card lets you work fully confident that your priority applications and processes will perform at their best, even during limited network capacity periods. And to keep your computer or NAS running efficiently cool, this card supports Energy-Efficient Ethernet low bus power standards.

No matter if you need to access an older or a state-of-the-art network, the OWC 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Network Card's RJ45 socket can connect you to a wide range of existing cabling infrastructures, ranging from Cat 5 to Cat 7.

Thanks to network Wake on LAN support, you can easily wake a hibernated Windows or sleeping Mac computer for remote system management, program use, and stored file access. Now instead of having an "always on" system wasting energy, you can keep a work or home computer in a low-power state of readiness that's accessible anytime from any location.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. Does this card support RoCE/RDMA?

A: The OWC 10G Ethernet PCIe Network Card (BH #OWCPCIE10GB), does not support RoCE or RDMA functions.

Q: 5. Will this work for a Linux based storage server like TrueNAS?

A: Yes, the TP-Link TX401 10G Ethernet PCIe Adapter is compatible with Linux.

Q: 6. Is it compatible with the QNAP TS-464 BH #QNTS4648GUS ?

A: The TP-Link TX401 10G Ethernet PCIe Adapter has a PCIe x4 interface, so it will not be compatible with the QNAP TS-464, which only has a PCIe x2 expansion slot.

Q: 7. Does this include the SFP+ modules for RJ45 copper ethernet?

A: The Synology E10G21-F2 Dual Port 10G SFP+ PCIe 3.0 Ethernet Adapter does not include SFP+ modules. It only has 2 SFP+ plugs on board.

Q: 8. 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: 9. Where do you find the driver for this? This chipset driver download isn't available on Marvelle site, only the older shipset do.

A: Obtain from: https://www.marvell.com/support/downloads.html Select Marvel Public Drivers. This card uses an AQC113 chipset, which is not listed. Select Part Number AQC108 then select operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux). Installed without a problem in a Gen 4 slot and transfers up to 10Gb with the Marvell Windows driver.

Q: 10. Does this one work with Synology 1817+ or is there another one that works?

A: The Synology E10G21-F2 Dual Port 10G SFP+ PCIe 3.0 Ethernet Adapter is not compatible with the Synology DS1817+. For that NAS, you'll need the Synology E10G18-T2 Dual-Port 10 Gb/s PCIe Expansion Card (BH #SYE10G18T2, https://bhpho.to/3HGAbAN).
