Octal-Port 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Copper BroadR-Reach® Transceiver
The BCM54880 is the first member of Broadcom's GbE BroadR-Reach family of copper PHY products; It includes eight complete 10/100/1000 BASE-T and BroadR-Reach transceivers integrated on a single 65-nm CMOS chip. The BCM54880 includes eight SGMII serial media access controller interfaces and eight copper ports, whereby each copper port supports one, two or four twisted pair line connections.
BroadR-Reach technology supports both 100-meter traditional Ethernet services and other applications that require longer than 100 meter reach or operation over a single twisted wire pair (such as hotels, colleges/universities, convention centers, airports, train stations, to name a few). The extended reach will also broaden the range of cable installations and can be used for new IP services and applications such as broadband access, voice over IP, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras.
