SABRENT USB4 to 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter USB-C 10GbE Network for USB4/Thunderbolt 3/4, Aluminum Housing, Bus Powered, Backward Compatible with Multi-Gig and Networks (NT-P10G)

Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 port required: connects to Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 5 or USB4 USB-C (Type-C) ports. Not compatible with USB 3.2, USB 3.1 or USB 3.0 ports. Look for the Thunderbolt or USB4 symbol on your computer's port. Windows 10+, macOS 10.12+ (Thunderbolt 3) / 11+ (USB4), Linux 3.10+. 10GbE over USB-C - Adds a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) RJ45 port for wired speeds up to 10Gbps - Designed for NAS, servers, video editing and multi-gig networks. Automatically negotiates to 5GbE, 2.5GbE, 1GbE and 100Mbps. A full 10G link requires a 10GbE router, switch or NAS on the other end plus a CAT6a cable or better; a 10Gbps Internet plan alone will not, and a slower host port will negotiate below 10G. ALUMINUM HEATSINK CHASSIS - Give it air: The aluminum body is the heat sink, so the housing gets hot to the touch during sustained 10g transfers; this is how the heat leaves the chipset. Leave it in the open air, not under a laptop, in a bag or in a closed drawer, and keep it clean during long heavy work. Bus powered, no power supply. LED Status: Green = 10GbE link, Amber = lower speed, flashing = activity. Simple setup - Drivers only when needed: MacOS and most Thunderbolt 4/USB4 systems are plug-and-play. Windows and Linux may require the Marvell AQC113 driver. Wait 15-30 seconds to initialize it. On Windows, disable energy-efficient Ethernet in the adapter's advanced settings for the most stable 10G link. WOL, PXE & TUNABLE FOR IT ENVIRONMENTS: Supports Wake-on-LAN (WOL) and PXE boot for IT and remote deployments. Includes USB4 cable. For maximum throughput, enable jumbo frames and increase receive buffers in adapter settings.
