The ThunderLink NS 5102 Thunderbolt 5 to 100Gb Ethernet Adapter from ATTO Technology is designed for bandwidth-intensive applications such as data backup and restoration, clustered computing, IP content delivery, medical imaging, and video rendering. It features dual LC QSFP28 modules that support network speeds of up to 100 Gb/s and connects to your host Windows, Mac, or Linux system using one 80 Gb/s Thunderbolt 5 port, while a second Thunderbolt 5 port allows users to daisy-chain up to 5 additional Thunderbolt devices together. Both Thunderbolt 5 ports support 8K video, data transfers, and displays. Other features include backward compatibility with other Thunderbolt and USB standards, plus 10/25GbE compatibility using a QSFP28 adapter, and two LED indicators per port.
