The KSZ8893FQLI-FX is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. This device is a highly integrated 3-port switch with advanced features, specifically designed for use in Ethernet applications. Here is an overview and key features of the KSZ8893FQLI-FX:
1. Three-Port Ethernet Switch: The KSZ8893FQLI-FX is a 10/100Base-T/TX/FX switch that allows the connection of three different Ethernet devices simultaneously. It provides seamless data transmission between these devices, enabling efficient networking solutions.
2. Advanced Switching Capabilities: This IC component supports various advanced switching capabilities, such as VLAN (Virtual LAN) support and QoS (Quality of Service) prioritization. VLAN enables the segmentation of Ethernet traffic to improve network performance and security. QoS prioritization helps to allocate network resources effectively by giving priority to critical data packets.
3. Multiple Fiber Optic Interfaces: The KSZ8893FQLI-FX integrates fiber optic interfaces, allowing for long-distance data transmission and eliminating the need for external media converters. It supports both 100Base-FX and 1000Base-FX fiber transceivers, providing flexibility for different network requirements.
4. Embedded MII Interfaces: The IC includes Media Independent Interfaces (MIIs) for connecting external PHY (Physical Layer) devices
