1015 Can I connect a Solo10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition Adapter to a Thunderbolt 2 Mac?May-13-22
Thunderbolt 2 does not have enough power to directly connect a Thunderbolt 3 bus-powered device like the Solo10G Thunderbolt 3 adapter. However, you can connect the Solo10G if you have an intermediate Thunderbolt 3 device in the chain that is wall-powered, for example the Sonnet Echo 11 Dock.

Thunderbolt 2 Mac----Apple TB 3 (USB-C) to TB 2 Adapter----Wall-powered Thunderbolt 3 Device----Solo10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition

Note that the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter is reversible and will support a Thunderbolt 2 Mac and a Thunderbolt 3 device (as well as a Thunderbolt 3 Mac and a Thunderbolt 2 device).
 
1018 I'm getting poor performance with my Solo10G through a Netgear XS716 10G switch.May-30-20
We did a test installation with a QNAP TS-1685, and two Sonnet Solo10G's on Thunderbolt 3 iMacs and a brand new Netgear XS716 10G switch. We were only getting about 160 MB/sec read, even thought we were using macOS 10.13.6 (which disables SMB Signing), and we enabled Jumbo Frames in the Macs, the Netgear and the QNAP. We plugged the Sonnet directly into the QNAP, and instantly got 1000 MB/sec. We did a "factory default" reset on the Netgear XS716T, and the "problem" was solved.
 
1041 Upon connecting the Solo10G, I see an error message "Accessory Needs More Power"May-13-22
Your computer does not have 15W available that the Solo10G requires, but instead only 7.5W.

When plugging external devices into a MacBook Pro, the 15-inch and 13-inch models with four Thunderbolt 3 ports will provide 15W only to the first two devices and then 7.5W to the second two devices in the order that they are plugged in, irrespective of port and device type. The 13-inch model with only two Thunderbolt 3 ports will provide 15W to the first device and 7.5W to the second. Try disconnecting all the devices and plug in the Solo10G Thunderbolt 3 Adapter first.

Some PCs do not supply 15W to all of the Thunderbolt 3 ports. Check you computer specifications for details. Make sure the Solo10G is the first device plugged into the computer.
