StarTech BNDTB410GSFP – Thunderbolt 3 to 10GbE Fiber Network Adapter

Overview :

The StarTech BNDTB410GSFP is a Thunderbolt 3 to 10 Gigabit Ethernet fiber network adapter and chassis that enables high-speed 10GbE connectivity from a Thunderbolt 3-equipped workstation or server. It combines a PCIe expansion chassis with a 10 GbE SFP+ network card to provide four open SFP+ fiber ports, making it suitable for data center access, high-bandwidth workstations, and fiber-based networking environments where integrated 10GbE is unavailable.

The unit supports standard 10GbE protocols including 802.3ad link aggregation and VLAN tagging, and can be assembled quickly with user-provided SFP+ modules to match specific fiber types (SR/LR). Its Thunderbolt 3 interface provides PCIe 3.0 x8 bandwidth for full 10 GbE performance without internal PCIe slots. This solution is ideal for engineers needing external 10GbE on laptops or compact systems; it is not a standalone switch and requires SFP+ modules and fiber cabling for deployment.

Key Features :

• Thunderbolt 3 to 10GbE fiber adapter with PCIe chassis
• Four open 10 GbE SFP+ slots for flexible optics
• PCIe 3.0 x8 via Thunderbolt 3 for full bandwidth
• Supports VLAN, LACP, jumbo frames, fiber links
• Includes extra Thunderbolt and DisplayPort ports
