I’m in the process of gradually upgrading an in-house video production studio with <10 seats from 10G to 25/100G. There were attempts to do this years ago, and I found some unused Atto 40G Thunderlink adapters and Sonnet’s 25G adapters. The 40G Attos are EOL, and I couldn’t get the Sonnets to work. The SFP jungle/support/information is really maddening.

Atto’s new 100G Thunderlinks work well. I’ve seen speeds of just over 5 gigabytes per second. Atto definitely does a lot of kernel extension wizardry to get macOS to achieve these speeds.

A bit OT: I hope Blackmagic really shakes up the 100G connectivity market, and that Apple realizes their platform is extremely well-suited for IP Video 2110 workflows — if they can ever get networking under control.
