Chapter 4 – Twin10G T3E Adapter Connection Steps
1. Connect the included Thunderbolt cable between either Thunderbolt
port on the Twin10G T3E adapter and a Thunderbolt port on your
computer, or other Thunderbolt peripheral device in the chain
connected to the computer (Figure 2). Secure the retainer clip to
the adapter if you attached it to the cable. If you are daisy chaining
additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices, connect another
Thunderbolt cable between the downstream device and the open
Thunderbolt port on the Sonnet adapter. Note that you may not
connect two computers to the Sonnet adapter’s Thunderbolt
ports, nor to a daisy chain of Thunderbolt devices.
2. Connect one or two CAT 6 or CAT 6A cable(s) between
the port(s) on the Twin10G T3E adapter and the port(s)
on the switch or storage device.
3. Connect the included power cord between a wall outlet or power
strip and the power adapter; verify the connector is plugged in securely.
Note that the power adapter’s power indicator will light at this time.
4. Connect the power adapter cable to the Twin10G T3E adapter’s 12V
power socket. Note that the Sonnet adapter’s power indicator will not
light until the computer, and any other Thunderbolt devices connected
between it and the adapter, is powered on.
5. Go to the next section, Verification and Configuration Steps.

Support Note: Sonnet’s ThunderLok™ 3 Thunderbolt connector
retainer clip secures the included Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cable to
the Twin10G adapter to prevent accidental disconnects. It is compatible with
Sonnet 0.5-meter Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cables, but not compatible with
Sonnet 1-meter Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cables.
To attach the clip to the cable, remove both from their packaging, and then
insert the connector through the connector clip as shown (Figure 1). Note
that the connector will pass all the way through the clip; when you connect
the cable to the chassis, the clip will secure the connector.
Support Note: Unless your setup requires
connection redundancy or link aggregation (and
your switch or storage system supports those features),
connecting the Twin10G adapter to a switch or storage
system requires only a single CAT 6 or CAT 6A cable.
