ST7411 Thunderbolt 3 to 10Gb SFP+ Adapter, True 10Gbps PCIe

True 10Gbps, Not "Up To" Native PCIe, Not a
USB Bridge: This Thunderbolt 3 10Gb SFP+ adapter is built on Intel JHL6340 + Intel 82599EN over a PCIe 3.0 x4 bus. USB-based 10GbE adapters are throttled by USB overhead (~7Gbps on Windows, ~5Gbps on macOS). ST7411 talks PCIe directly to your host, so you get the full 10Gbps link rate your 10GbE switch and NAS are already paying for.; OPEN SFP+ (LC)
PORT: accepts standard 10G fiber modules 10GBase-SR for multimode (OM3/OM4) or 10GBase-LR for single-mode long runs so you match the fiber plant you already have (module sold separately).; Full 10Gbps in
Both Directions: No half-speed uploads. Send and receive run at full 10Gbps simultaneously large backup windows shrink, 4K/8K video edits stream straight off the NAS, and VM/SAN traffic stays symmetrical. Ideal for NAS-to-desktop, DAS offload, and sustained multi-hour transfers where USB adapters drop off as they heat up.; No Speed Penalty on Mac MacBook, iMac, Mac mini
& Mac Studio: Most USB 10GbE adapters fall to ~5Gbps on Mac because macOS caps the USB path. ST7410 negotiates a true 10Gbps link on macOS, Windows and Linux alike, so your MacBook, iMac, Mac mini or Mac Studio runs at the same speed as every other machine in the studio.; Plug & Play on Windows / macOS / Linux Thunderbolt 5/4/3
& USB4 Ready: Driver-free on current Windows and macOS, supported on mainstream Linux kernels. Connects to Apple MacBook, iMac, Mac mini and Mac Studio, and any other Thunderbolt 5 / 4
