Save and Share up to 10x Faster
Using Gigabit Ethernet in pro settings is like trying to win a carnival ball toss game. The hole is smaller than the ball and you lose a lot of time and money trying to overcome that limitation. By opening your data flow up with the OWC 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Network Card, you can download, share, and save files at over 900 MB/s. That's up to 10x faster than standard Ethernet, so you can beat project deadlines and keep them under budget. If you're a video editor, creative pro, musician, or gamer, this 10G network interface card (NIC) will deliver blazing-fast transfer speeds with signal reliability, stability, and security wherever you work or play.

Filmmakers
When the shoot is done, transfer 4.0TB of 4K footage in just over an hour vs over 10 hours.

Video Editing Teams
Streamline your workflow, add incredibly powerful collaboration, and work with up to 8K files without dropped frames by adding this card to workstations connected to editing storage such as the OWC Jellyfish.

Audio Producers
Create a memorable performance at stadiums, auditoriums, studios, and other live sound settings by streaming volumes of audio and video data to multiple destinations in real time with latency-free AVB precision quality.

Photographers
After ingesting CFX and SD media cards, send 1000 raw files (52MB each) to a NAS or remote server in under 45 seconds.
A Versatile Internal/External Ethernet Solution
Like all OWC solutions with innovation as standard equipment, this card was purposefully designed to offer warp speed file transfers in a variety of applications.

Internally
Mac Pro 2019 and PC systems with an open PCIe slot, Windows/Linux-based application servers, and shared storage (NAS) like the OWC Jupiter Callisto.

Externally
If your machine or NAS lacks Ethernet connectivity or is limited to 1 Gb/s Ethernet, you can install the OWC 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Network Card in a PCIe expansion chassis like the OWC Mercury Helios 3S. Greater signal reliability, stability, and security with up to 10x faster speed on 10Gb Ethernet networks and up to 5x faster speed on 2.5 to 5Gb/s networks are within your reach.
AVB Ready for Real-Time Audio Quality
Whether you're laying down some hypnotic drum tracks in a separate room or rocking a memorable live performance as a front-of-house mixing engineer, the OWC 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Network Card is ready to help you make sweet music. Its Audio Video Bridging (IEEE 802.1Qav, AVB) readiness can send and receive highest quality audio and video media streams in real-time to multiple destinations over existing network cable.
Maximum Speed with Maximum ROI
Most wired local area networks installed over the past two decades utilize Cat 5e or Cat 6 copper cabling and offer the ideal combination of affordability and performance. Unfortunately, these setups are limited to a maximum speed of 1 Gb/s. Don't fret, as OWC's little gem of a networking card has got your back with 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T support. This means that this multi-capable 10G card can deliver up to 5 Gb/s speed with existing cabling for up to a 500% performance increase and maximum infrastructure ROI.
Built for Optimum Network and CPU Performance
Transferring large amounts of data or high I/O operations can slow things down. But the OWC 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Network Card is no ordinary card. It's ready to handle up to 16KB jumbo frames for a dramatic reduction in network transactions and less bandwidth use. Additionally, advanced IP, TCP, UDPO checksum, and Large Send offload processes ensure your computer's optimum performance when large file transfers or high I/O operations occur.
High Quality and Efficiency
There's more to a network than moving data fast. It needs to perform reliably and cost-effectively as well. With built-in Quality of Service (QoS) technology, this 10GbE card lets you work fully confident that your priority applications and processes will perform at their best, even during limited network capacity periods. And to keep your computer or NAS running efficiently cool, this card supports Energy-Efficient Ethernet low bus power standards.
Existing Cable Compatible
No matter if you need to access an older or a state-of-the-art network, the OWC 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Network Card's RJ45 socket can connect you to a wide range of existing cabling infrastructures, ranging from Cat 5 to Cat 7.
Anytime Anywhere Access
Thanks to network Wake on LAN support, you can easily wake a hibernated Windows or sleeping Mac computer for remote system management, program use, and stored file access. Now instead of having an "always on" system wasting energy, you can keep a work or home computer in a low-power state of readiness that's accessible anytime from any location.

OWC OWCPCIE10GB Reviews

Works great in my OWC Flex 8

macOS can be finicky with 10GbE NICs, this one connected immediately.

Very Pleased

I purchased this card to enable high speed file transfers from my PC to my new Synology rackmount servers. Since installation, my file transfer speeds have improved from an average of 113 Mbps (using previous Gigabit NIC) to 1 Gbps with the OWC card. Installation was a breeze and consisted of opening the PC case and plugging the card into an available PCIe slot followed by downloading the latest drivers off of the OWC Support page. I've always been pleased with OWC products and this NIC is no exception!
