Product Overview
The Presto 10GbE 10GBASE-T card provides users with the ability to connect their computer to high-speed infrastructure and storage without compromising on speed. The installation process is straightforward - users must first install the low-profile card into an available x4 or larger PCIe slot in their computer, followed by downloading and installing a driver. Next, users can connect to the switch or device's 10GbE ports through inexpensive CAT-6 or CAT-6A copper cabling at distances of up to 55 or 100 meters, respectively. Finally, users can configure the card through the OS X® Network control panel or Windows Device Manager. This Sonnet solution is optimal for high-performance computing environments that require low latency, high bandwidth, and low CPU overhead.
