The ATTO ThunderLink NS-5102 bridges the gap between Thunderbolt 5-enabled workstations and ultra-fast 100Gb Ethernet networks, providing a robust solution for bandwidth-intensive applications.
With dual Thunderbolt 5 USB-C ports and two 100GbE QSFP28 interfaces, it empowers creative professionals, IT architects, and scientific researchers to move massive datasets with minimal latency and maximum reliability.
This adapter is purpose-built for environments where high-speed data transfer, low latency, and advanced network management are critical, such as post-production studios, clustered computing, and hybrid cloud workflows.
Leveraging the latest Thunderbolt 5 technology, the NS-5102 offers up to 80Gb/s per Thunderbolt port, supporting simultaneous 8K video transfer and display.
Its dual QSFP28 ports provide 100GbE connectivity, ensuring compatibility with modern data center and enterprise network infrastructures.
ATTO’s Advanced Data Streaming (ADS™) technology minimizes interrupts and reduces latency, while hardware-based offloads (including TCP/UDP/IP stateless offloads, LRO, LSO, TSO, RSS, and TSS) optimize CPU utilization and network efficiency.
Support for NVGRE and VXLAN encapsulated traffic, as well as RoCE v1/v2 for RDMA, enables high-performance virtualization and storage networking.
The adapter is fully supported by ATTO360™ Networking Software, offering workflow-specific tuning profiles, real-time and historical performance monitoring (ATTOview™), and instant expert alerts to eliminate bottlenecks.
Adapter and driver health monitoring tools further enhance reliability and uptime.
Thunderbolt 5’s daisy-chaining capability allows users to connect up to five additional Thunderbolt devices, expanding workflow flexibility without sacrificing performance.
The NS-5102 is backward compatible with previous Thunderbolt and USB-C generations, as well as 10/25GbE networks via QSA adapters.
Certified for use with macOS, Windows, and Linux, the NS-5102 integrates seamlessly into diverse IT environments.
It operates reliably across a wide temperature and humidity range, with compliance to major international safety and emissions standards.
The NS-5102 is engineered for 8K video post-production, clustered computing, medical imaging, IP content delivery, and any application demanding high-throughput, low-latency network access.
Its robust design and advanced features make it a trusted choice for data centers, media production facilities, and research labs.
