ComEth4100 is built on the latest generation of Gigabit Ethernet switch engine combined with an optional PowerPC processor for the management. The switch core contains a high-speed non blocking four traffic class QoS switch fabric. ComEth4100 is designed specifically for embedded systems. The ultra low-power design and the thermal monitoring make the integration easier. Each port is compliant with 802.3 standard. It performs all the physical layer functions for 100BT and 1000BT full or half-duplex Ethernet on CAT5 cable and 10BT full or half-duplex on CAT3,4,5. It supports Auto-MDI/MDIX. The ComEth4100 provides the ideal solution for multi-gigabit stand-alone switches or high-density switching systems. Auto-crossover, auto-polarity, auto-negotiation and automatic MAC address management make ComEth 4100 a true Plug&Play layer2 switch. The Marvell Virtual Cable Tester provides a remote identification of potential cable malfunctions as excessive pair skew, cable opens, impedance mismatch.
