Enter The Fast Lane
Content volume and resolutions keep increasing to where it's like being on the highway during rush hour. You gotta leave that "commuter" 1Gb Ethernet speed in the dust and gain valuable time by entering the express lane. Strap in and buckle up 'cause it's gonna feel like you're driving an exotic supercar when you add the OWC 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Network Adapter to your creative workflow, A/V production, or on-line gaming.
Save and Share Up To 10x Faster
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 Adapter, you can download, share, and save files at over 900MB/s real-world tested speed. 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 CFexpress and SD media cards, send 1000 RAW files (52MB each) to a NAS or remote server in under 45 seconds.
The Versatile Internal/External Ethernet Solution
Like all OWC solutions with innovation as standard equipment, we purposefully designed this awesome 10GbE card to offer warp speed file transfers in a variety of applications:
Internally
- Mac Pro 2019 and PC computers with an open PCIe slot
- Windows/Linux-based application servers
- Shared storage (NAS) like the OWC Jupiter Callisto
Externally
If your machine or NAS lacks Ethernet connectivity or is limited to 1Gb/s Ethernet, you can install the OWC 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Network Adapter in a PCIe expansion chassis like the OWC Mercury Helios 3S or in storage solutions like the OWC ThunderBay Flex 8 or Flex 1U4. Greater signal reliability, stability, and security with up to 10x faster speed on 10Gb Ethernet networks and up to 5x faster speed on 2.5-5Gb/s networks are within your reach.
AVB Ready for Real-Time Audio Quality
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 Adapter 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.
- Ultra-fast: over 900MB/s real-world tested transfer speed for large file transfers, video editing, and live streaming gaming sessions
- Versatile: use internally with PCIe slot equipped Mac Pro and Windows computers or externally with the OWC ThunderBay Flex 8, ThunderBay Flex 1U4, or Mercury Helios 3S
- Easy integration: utilize existing Cat7 or Cat6a cabling up to 100-meter for full 10Gb speed or up to 5Gb speed for existing Cat6 and Cat5e cabling
- Cost-effective: 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T technology (formerly NBASE-T) provides up to 500% faster performance with existing cabling
- Smart: supports auto-negotiation for 10Gb/s, 5Gb/s, 2.5Gb/s, 1Gb/s, 100Mb/s, and 10Mb/s BASE-T Ethernet standards
- AVB ready: perfect for use in pro audio and video applications where precise time-synchronized data streams is critical
- Jumbo Frame ready: dramatically reduce network transactions and use less bandwidth with up to 16KB jumbo frames
- Advanced: IP, TCP, UDPO checksum and Large Send offload processes ensure highest CPU performance when large file transfers or high I/O operations occur
- Dependable: Quality of Service (QoS) technology ensures priority applications and processes will deliver highest performance during limited network capacity Accessible: Wake-on-LAN (WoL) ready for remote access of home or work computer
- Energy efficient: Supports IEEE 802.3az for low computer bus power and cool operation
