Broadcom Single-port 10GBASE-T/5GBASE-T/2.5GBASE-T/1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet CMOS transceiver - BCM84881
The Broadcom BCM84881 is a single-port 10GBASE-T/5GBASE-T/2.5GBASE-T/1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet CMOS transceiver.
The device performs all physical-layer functions for 10GBASE_T, 5GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T, and 100BASE-TX Ethernet on Category Cat5e, 6, or 6A twisted-pair cable.
BCM84881 is a highly integrated solution that supports USXGMII, XFI, 5000BASE-X, 2500BASE-X, and 1000BASE-X (SGMII) MAC interface
The BCM84881 features the Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) protocol. EEE enables the BCM84881 to auto-negotiate and operate with EEE-compliant link partners to reduce overall system power during low utilization of the link. Broadcom’s AutogrEEEn mode permits legacy systems to enjoy the power saving benefits of EEE.
The BCM84881 features Enhanced Cable Diagnostics, which detects common cable problems such as shorts, opens, and cable length.
