MBP M1 10 Gb ethernet?

[Prorege1]

Hello,

The basic MBP M1 13" is suddenly on offer with a 20% discount here in Denmark, so I'm picking one up today.

I would like to connect it to my 10 Gb network using a RJ45 ethernet cable, but I would need an adapter capable of Thunderbolt/ethernet cable with 10 Gb capacity. Any recommendations?

Thank you very much however it's max 1 Gbps (I need 10 Gbps).

A Gbps equals to a 1000 Mbps. Isn’t enough? How fast is your internet transmittal in Denmark?

There are other uses for 10Gb lan other than internet connectivity

Ok! I’m nubie at this. Learning though.

Hi,

Thanks. Internet is presently 1 Gbps fiber, but my Ubiquiti LAN network is 10 Gbps, so I'd like to use the 10 Gbps option.

Thanks for the explanation!

My bad. Too early here!

10G adapters are expensive and bulky. If you really need one maybe you should go for a TB3 dock.

There are many good docks but OWC is Mac centric.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the recommendations - it's expensive, but guess that could be expected! Have a great weekend.

People typically want 10 Gbps for intranet uses, like communicating with networked storage and other internal devices.

Yah, at my work we are on a 10GB network (fiber backbone & ethernet switch) so our work Mac Minis are 2018 with 10GBe option.

We use them for file & caching servers.

Hoping next round of Mx Mini will come with 10GBe option too...

It’s expensive because it isn’t total crap like most of the other options.

Some have a whiny fan that goes full blast under any load.
