Product Description

The AX88658A is an 8-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet switch with, GMII/RGMII or MII Interface. The switch

controller provides network system manufacturers the ideal platform for building smart and cost-effective backbone

switches for small to medium sized businesses.

The AX88658A 8-port 10/100/100 BASE-T single chip switch controllers combine the benefits of network

simplicity, flexibility and high integration. Its highly integrated feature set enables network system manufacturers to

build smart switches for the fast-growing small to medium business market segment.

Benefits of AX88658A Switches are below.
