Leveraging an ideal combination of affordability and performance, OWC notes that mmost wired LANs installed over the past two decades utilize Cat 5e or Cat 6 copper cabling. The new adapter dramatically increases performance and ROI for existing networks. By simply adding the OWC Thunderbolt 3 10G Ethernet Adapter to their PC, photographers, videographers, musicians, and other creative pros can now enjoy greater signal reliability, stability, and security with up to 5x faster speeds on 2.5-5Gb/s networks, and up to 10x faster speed on 1Gb/s Ethernet networks. Unfortunately, these pros are often limited to Gigabit Ethernet (1Gb/s) speed by their computers. Without having to incur the extra expense of a full 10Gb Ethernet network while maintain optimum performance, creative professionals in SMBs or home offices are connecting to a 2.5-5Gb/s equipped router or switch. OWS says the new adapter maximizes the performance small office and home office networks. Editing can take place directly from files on a shared RAID storage device without the inefficiencies of downloading files to individual workstations.

Optimized for improving project efficiency by enabling bottleneck-free workgroup collaboration, OWS says its Thunderbolt 3 10G Ethernet Adapter keeps teams aligned and project budgets in check, as it gives multiple workstations the maximum data capacity for sharing and editing creative content requiring large volumes of data, such as video, animation, and graphics. Geared for improving project efficiency and workgroup collaboration with the quickest network connection available, the OWC adapter is also backward compatible with other Ethernet standards including 5GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T, and 100BASE-Tx. Via the adapter, users can access 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks or network attached storage (NAS) devices to transfer large multimedia files at over 900MB/s. OWC, a provider of Mac and PC docking systems and performance upgrade kits, announced the availability of its Thunderbolt 3 10G Ethernet Adapter, which enables speeds over 900MB/s so users can transfer a 50GB file in under a minute, perform video editing, and livestream gaming sessions.Ĭonnecting the OWC Thunderbolt 3 10G Ethernet Adapter to a Thunderbolt 3-equipped Mac or PC dramatically speeds workflow file transfers.
