ATTO ThunderLink TLFC-5642: Thunderbolt 5 to Dual 64Gb Fibre Channel

The ThunderLink TLFC-5642 doubles the speed of prior Thunderbolt adapters, linking Thunderbolt 5 devices to Fibre Channel storage networks. Key benefits for media and entertainment workflows include:

• Collaborative Editing Powerhouse: Dual 64Gb Fibre Channel ports provide massive bandwidth for real-time 8K video access in shared storage area networks (SANs).

• Zero-Lag Post-Production: Ultra-low latency ensures seamless playback and editing of uncompressed 4K/8K footage across multi-user setups.

• Mac-Optimized SAN Support: Pairs with macOS^® and ATTO MultiPath Director™ for enhanced reliability, a boon for Apple^®-based studios.

ATTO ThunderLink NS 5102: Thunderbolt 5 to Dual 100Gb Ethernet

The ThunderLink NS 5102 taps Thunderbolt 5’s massive bandwidth to connect devices to 100Gb Ethernet networks, accelerating IP-based workflows. Key benefits for media and entertainment include:

• Rapid File Transfers for Post-Production: 100Gb Ethernet slashes delivery times for 4K/8K dailies and rendered files, streamlining editing workflows.

• Cloud Collaboration Made Easy: Low-latency RoCE (Windows^® and Linux^® only) and QSFP28 connectivity ensure smooth integration with cloud storage for remote teams.

• Pro-Grade Performance: ATTO 360™ Networking, RDMA (Windows and Linux only), and advanced offloads (RSS, TSS) optimize throughput for professionals on Thunderbolt 5 platforms.

Designed for pros using Thunderbolt 5 workstations and laptops—such as a MacBook Pro^® and Mac Studio^®—these adapters reflect ATTO’s 35+ years as an innovator of media workflows. They outshine consumer-grade alternatives with tools like ATTO 360 Networking software for pre-tuned profiles and real-time diagnostics via ATTOview™, plus driver support for Windows, Linux, and macOS. The TLFC-5642 (model TLFC-5642-D00) and NS 5102 (model TLNS-5102-D00) include LC SFP+ and QSFP28 optics, respectively, and are backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3/4.

“For Mac users, these adapters are a perfect fit, delivering seamless integration and top-tier performance, with features you won’t find anywhere else” Klein added. “They’re engineered to make every Thunderbolt 5 workflow faster and stronger.”

ATTO ThunderLink TLFC-5642 and NS 5102 will debut at NAB Show 2025, April 6-9, at booth SL5616 in the Las Vegas Convention Center. Attendees can see how ATTO redefines connectivity for Thunderbolt 5 workflows. Schedule appointments with ATTO at www.atto.com/nab-2025.
