Marvell Alaska 88E2010/40 NBASE-T Ethernet Transceivers
Low cost, low power 1- or 4-port NBASE-T Ethernet Transceivers
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Marvell® Alaska® 88E2010/40 is a new family of Ethernet transceivers compliant with
the NBASE-T Alliance specification for 2.5G and 5G data rate over Cat5e cables.
Manufactured with 28nm process, the devices enable a lower cost, extremely low-power
dissipation. The devices use Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology to enable the
repurposing of low-cost Cat5e Ethernet cables for data rates as high as 5Gbps, supplanting
the use of optical technology for applications such as 802.11ac Access Point backhaul,
Switches, Servers, Workstations and high-end PCs. The devices support Category 6
(screened or unscreened), Category 6a (Augmented) and Category 7 type cables, as well as
Category 5e type cables for distances up to 100m. The devices support a variety of host
interfaces (2500BASE-X, 5000BASE-R, SGMII), as well as 10G host interfaces such as
USXGMII interface and XFI/RXAUI with Rate-Matching. The transceiver family also features
full-back-ward compatibility with lower-speed legacy Ethernet (1000/100/10Mbps) on the
line side.
The Marvell Alaska 88E2010/40 also incorporates the Marvell advanced Virtual Cable Tester
(VCT) technology for cable fault detection and proactive cable performance monitoring.
With advanced digital signal processing (DSP) technology, the transceiver can proactively
monitor the performance of a cable and determine cable length and type. It can detect
opens and shorts, and report the location of a fault.
