family of Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) over copper transceivers are the industry脮s lowest power,
smallest form factor, highest performance, and highest port density solutions in volume production. The Alaska
Octal (88E1180) transceiver is the industry脮s 脼rst and only 8-port GbE transceiver and offers the lowest power
dissipation at only 0.75 W/port. Each transceiver performs all of the physical layer functions for 100BASE-TX
and 1000BASE-T full or half duplex Ethernet on Category 5 (CAT 5) twisted pair cable, and 10BASE-T full or half
duplex Ethernet on CAT 3, 4 and 5 cable. The Alaska Octal device offers additional support of 1000BASE-X
through an integrated 1.25 GHz Serializer/Deserializer (SERDES).
