Connect to 10GbE Infrastructure Solo10G adapter is equipped with a single RJ45 socket, enabling it to connect to 10GbE infrastructure via inexpensive Cat 6 or Cat 6A copper cabling at distances up to 55 or 100 meters, respectively. Advanced Features, Intelligent Operation, AVB (Audio Video Bridging) Support Mac Compatibility: Mac (M series) & Mac (Intel) with Thunderbolt 3 ports macOS 12+ macOS Sequoia compatible AVB (Audio Video Bridging, IEEE 802.1Qav)(1) Windows Compatibility Windows computer with Thunderbolt 5, 4, or 3 ports Windows 11 and 10 Linux Compatibility Linux computer with Thunderbolt 5, 4, or 3 ports Linux Kernel 5.4+ Pocketable, Bus-Powered, and Silent Unlike the vast majority of 10GbE adapters, the Solo10G is pocketable—measuring a mere 3.1 inches wide by 4.5 inches deep by 1.1 inches tall—and bus-powered to enable truly portable use without a power adapter. Using the latest technologies and wrapping them in a rugged aluminum case, Sonnet designed a cool-running adapter that doesn’t need a fan, allowing silent and energy-efficient operation. Pocketable Bus-Powered Fanless Rugged Review: Fast, and easy to use! - I’ve been wanting to upgrade my home network to 10G speeds, so I bought the solo for my network adapter for my Alienware 17 R5 laptop. This device does achieve the rated 10G speeds. I have this wired to a 10G UniFi switch via cat6, the switch is also connected to my server with a 10G nic that has a m.2 SSD drive. And in the attached video you can see that a 15 gigabyte file transferred across my network in 15 seconds!!! Don’t forget that your speeds will only be as fast as other bottlenecks in your system as most mechanical hard drives top out at 150 MB/sec and even standard SSD top out at 500 MB/sec. (non-raid). m.2 SSD drives are really fast and will allow reads and writes at or above the 1Gb/sec transfer rate. Most of the time this device runs slightly warm, however during long durations of high speed transfers it does get hot. But I have had no issues after 2 weeks of usage. I’m very happy with the product and highly recommend for laptop uses, as a standard 10G nic is more cost effective for a desktop application. Review: Works great and is highly recommended - I picked this up based on recommendation from the tech who installed my fiber optic internet service. It works really well and I am able to get the full use of the speed my ISP offers. I like that it is configurable and they periodically update the drivers and firmware for it. I can recommend it with confidence. ## Features - Secure and cost effective way to connect your Thunderbolt 3 Mac or Windows PC to a high-performance wired network.

I don't remember seeing a rating for it in that regard, but I have been using it 24/7 since November with success. It is warm, but seems to work well. Glad to see you landed on this one. I bought a different one first, and couldn't get it to work. Good luck! **Q: Will this work with Linux? Are there Linux drivers?** A: The chip vendor (Aquantia) makes a Linux driver available here https://www.aquantia.com/support/driver-download/ This device is the AQC-107. I can't speak to the quality or installation process for this driver, but Sonnet's site points you there. http://www.sonnettech.com/support/kb/kb.php?cat=537&expand=_a3&action=b1032#b1032 **Q: Will this work with a intel nuc?** A: I never even heard of an Intel NUC. But I looked it up, and it does have a Thunderbolt 3 port, so I guess - yes, it "should" work, as long as you can download drivers for normal Win 10 computers on the Intel NUC Bob Zelin **Q: Windows 10 isn't finding a driver for this adapter... I've approved the adapter in the thunderbolt app, but can't find a driver... Do I download it?** A: You can download Windows and Linux drivers from the support area of the sonnettech web site. MacOS drivers are native. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast, and easy to use! *by D***. on October 16, 2018* I’ve been wanting to upgrade my home network to 10G speeds, so I bought the solo for my network adapter for my Alienware 17 R5 laptop.

It works really well and I am able to get the full use of the speed my ISP offers. I like that it is configurable and they periodically update the drivers and firmware for it. I can recommend it with confidence. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly in Mac and Windows. *by N***R on June 25, 2019* Fantastic performance and runs very well. It runs hot just like any other 10G Ethernet NIC so be careful not burn your hands but at least it comes with a nice long and flexible Thunderbolt cable. I wanted one with an integrated cable and this looks pretty well put together as the cable is detachable but requires a couple screws to be removed. So it’s secure in there you don’t need to worry about the adapter side to be a failure point. Setup is pretty simple, just get the Aquantia drivers installed. The only problem is I can’t seem to connect to CS:GO matchmaking with this adapter on a gaming laptop. I had the same problem on my desktop with an Aquantia card. I was able to fix that on my desktop so I’ll figure it out. Fortunately that’s the only problem I have and I don’t think it’s the product’s fault because there is no problem with anything else. Price is a bit higher than I’d like but it does work pretty well on both my MacBook Pro and my Windows laptops. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sonnet Technologies Solo 10G Thunderbolt 3 to 10GBASE-T Ethernet Fanless Adapter (SOLO10G-TB3) - Synology Network Upgrade Module adds 1x 10GbE RJ-45 (E10G22-T1-Mini) - TP-Link TL-SX105 | 5 Port 10G/Multi-Gig Unmanaged Ethernet Switch | Desktop/Wall-Mount | Plug & Play | Fanless | Sturdy Metal Casing | Speed Auto-Negotiation --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/69290581-sonnet-technologies-solo-10g-thunderbolt-3-to-10gbase-t-ethernet](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/69290581-sonnet-technologies-solo-10g-thunderbolt-3-to-10gbase-t-ethernet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
