Break the 10GbE Bottleneck with Blazing-Fast 25GbE
Is your 10Gb Ethernet network buckling under the pressure of 4K/8K video, high-resolution assets, and ever-growing datasets? When your network can't keep up, productivity grinds to a halt. It's time to stop waiting and start creating with the Sonnet Twin25G, the professional dual-port 25 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe card designed to eliminate critical performance barriers.
The Twin25G delivers a powerful and cost-effective leap in connectivity, providing two independent 25GbE ports that are up to 2.5 times faster than a standard 10GbE connection. This immense performance boost empowers your team to transfer massive files in a fraction of the time, enjoy fluid playback from shared storage, and eliminate frustrating lag during demanding post-production and data-intensive tasks. Experience a workflow that moves at the speed of your creativity, not your network.
One of the most compelling advantages of the Twin25G is its intelligent design for a seamless upgrade. It's engineered to work with the same optical fiber cabling you already use for your 10GbE network, allowing you to bypass a costly and disruptive infrastructure overhaul. To get you running immediately, this kit includes two short-range SFP28 transceivers, providing a complete, turnkey solution right out of the box. Installation is a breeze—simply plug the card into an available PCIe slot and connect your existing fiber.
Perfect for Mac Pro towers, Windows PCs, and Linux workstations—and easily added to any computer with a Thunderbolt port via a Sonnet expansion chassis—the Twin25G is the ultimate network upgrade for post-production houses, recording studios, and other shared storage workgroups. Use the dual ports for link aggregation to achieve maximum throughput, or configure them for redundant connections to ensure critical network uptime. Stop letting network limitations define your potential. Upgrade to the Sonnet Twin25G and future-proof your workflow today.
