The AKiTiO Network Adapter offers a portable, bus powered, fan less and
low-cost 10GbE solution enabling 10GBase-T connectivity for Apple® OS X®
and Microsoft® Windows® environments and features the latest
Thunderbolt™ revolutionary I/O technology from Intel®, with transfer
speeds of up to 20Gbps. The AKiTiO Thunderbolt 2 adapter is ideal for
notebooks, such as the Apple® MacBook Pro, MacBook AIR and professional
workstations that require reliable, accelerated access to external
storage and networks for I/O demanding applications.
10GBase-T Connectivity Over Thunderbolt 2The
10G network adapter utilizes a simplified design for high speed, 10GbE
networking for modern workstations and ultrabooks which typically lack
1GbE connectivity or the capability to deploy an internal PCIe 10GbE
network card (NIC), but may be equipped with a Thunderbolt™ connector
capable of delivering up to 20Gbps.
Compact, Portable and Bus PoweredThe
AKiTiO Thunder2 10G Network Adapter provides an extremely portable 10
Gigabit Ethernet solution. This sleek and compact adapter runs on bus
power alone. The rugged aluminium housing with its unique heatsink
design and open gaps for air flow can dissipate the heat and keep the
device cool all without any noise whatsoever. Hassle-free with its
captive Thunderbolt cable, simply plug in the device, install the driver
and you are set to go.
