Access 10GbE networks over Thunderbolt with Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet (T2E)

As Apple® computers do not natively support 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Mac® users previously needed to purchase a Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter to connect to high-speed Ethernet networks. The innovative Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet (T2E) allows computers without Ethernet ports (such as MacBook Pro®) to access 10GbE network resources over a Thunderbolt™ connection to the TVS-882BRT3. This saves users from having to buy adapters or converters and greatly streamlines the connectivity process.

Flexibly attach, share, and expand in 4 ways

With four Thunderbolt™ 3 ports on the TVS-882BRT3, you can flexibly arrange the connection of your computer workstations with the TVS-882BRT3 and its storage expansion enclosures based on your needs.

High accessibility (Mac+JBOD)

Attach three Mac® workstations to the TVS-882BRT3 via Thunderbolt™ 3 ports for online video editing, while the remaining Thunderbolt™ 3 port is used for storage expansion by connecting up to six NAS expansion enclosures (TX-500P / TX-800P).

Optimal collaboration (Mac+Mac)

When using multiple workstations to work together to speed up a project, you can connect each workstation separately to the Thunderbolt™ 3 ports on the TVS-882BRT3 to enjoy simultaneous, speedy video editing.
