Thunderbolt 3 to 10GbE NIC Chassis + Card
This Thunderbolt 3 to 10GbE adapter lets you connect your Thunderbolt 3 enabled device to a 10 GbE network via an expansion chassis
Product ID: BNDTB10GI
- Add 10GbE connectivity to your Thunderbolt 3 desktop or laptop computer
- Upgrade your peripherals without having to upgrade your chassis by just switching out your PCIe card
- Assemble and install easily with just a screwdriver
This Thunderbolt™ 3 to 10GbE NIC lets you connect your Thunderbolt 3 enabled device to a 10 GbE network. This adapter combines the StarTech.com Thunderbolt 3 PCIe Expansion Chassis (TB31PCIEX16) and the PCI Express 10G NIC (ST10000SPEXI), giving you one DisplayPort output, one additional Thunderbolt 3 port and one RJ45 (10GbE) port.
Reliable, high-performance and versatile multimode connectivity
This 10G network card utilizes the Intel® X550 chipset with Intel® Virtualization Technology for connectivity, delivering the power, performance and enhanced capabilities you need for dependable network connections.
Install and assemble with ease
Requiring only a Phillips type screwdriver, this Thunderbolt 3 to 10GbE NIC can be assembled and connected in minutes. It connects easily through a single Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer.
Change up your chassis
The Thunderbolt 3 chassis not only pairs well with the 10GbE NIC--you can swap the NIC out for other PCIe cards, to help support other functionality and performance. With the extra TB3 port and DP output built into the chassis, you will always have the ability to hook up extended displays to effortlessly multitask.
The TB31PCIEX16 and ST10000SPEXI are backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty.
Applications
- Upgrade your workstation to provide enhanced performance, advanced features and greater reliability
- Upgrade a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port on your computer to 10GbE networking
- Ideal for high-demand database servers and mission-critical systems that need redundant network connectivity
- Add networking capabilities to an old system with no Ethernet port

| Special Notes / Requirements | ||
| Note | The expansion chassis does not support video cards. | |
| This expansion chassis does not provide full power delivery but will provide 15W of power, resulting in a slow charge to some laptops, such as MacBook Pro. When the dock is connected to your host laptop, a charging icon may appear on your laptop's screen. This is only sufficient enough to charge your laptop in sleep state, and charging will require an extended time period. | ||
| 5K support can only be achieved using a Thunderbolt 3 5K monitor. DisplayPort 5K monitors will not work with this expansion chassis. | ||
| A 4K-capable display is required to achieve 4K x 2K resolution (4K is also known as 4K x 2K). | ||
| Certain monitors may be limited to 4K at 30Hz when connecting through DisplayPort. These monitors include the following models: Dell P2715Q, Viewsonic VX2475Smhl-4K, Philips 288P6LJEB, LG 31MU97C-B, Asus PB287Q (these models will need to be set to 4K at 30Hz). | ||
| When connecting a display to one of the Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, a USB-C video adapter might be required depending on the input of your display. | ||
| Secondary Thunderbolt 3 port can also be used to connect USB 3.1 (10Gbps) USB-Type C devices, such as USB 3.1 Hubs. Backwards compatible with USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1), and USB 2.0. | ||
