QNAP QNA-T310G1S - Thunderbolt 3 to 10GbE SFP+ Adapter, Black, Silver

The QNAP QNA-T310G1S Thunderbolt 3 to 10GbE SFP+ adapter provides an external network interface for computers that lack built-in 10 Gigabit connectivity. It uses a Thunderbolt 3 Type-C port to establish an SFP+ link. This allows users to connect workstations to 10GbE systems, including network-attached storage and high-capacity switches. It offers higher throughput than standard 1GbE ports for tasks such as large-scale data migration or real-time media editing. The adapter bridges the host computer bus to the network via a controller, ensuring consistent performance under sustained network loads.

Measuring 112 mm in depth and weighing 190 g, the unit is suited for portable or desktop use. The black and silver exterior is designed for mobile workstation setups. Integrated LEDs show power, link status, and network activity. It is compatible with macOS 10.13.3 or later; Windows users must install the Aquantia AQC100S driver. This hardware enables laptop users to reach 10GbE speeds typically associated with tower PCs using internal cards.

• 10GbE SFP+ connectivity supports fiber optic or direct-attach copper cables.
