DESCRIPTION

ATGBICS® Compatible

X6568-R6-C 10/100/1000BASE-T copper SFP transceiver is high-performance, cost-

effective module compliant with the Gigabit Ethernet and 10/100/1000BASE-T standards as specified in IEEE

802. 3-2002 and IEEE 802.3ab, which supporting 10/100/1000Mbps data- rate up to 100 meters reach over

unshielded twisted-pair category 5 cable. The X6568-R6-C supports 10/100/1000 Mbps full duplex datalinks

with 5-level Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) signals. All four pairs in the cable are used with symbol rate

at 250Mbps on each pair. The X6568-R6-C provides standard serial ID information compliant with SFP MSA,

which can be accessed with address of A0h via the 2-wire serial CMOS EEPROM protocol. The physical IC

can also be accessed via 2-wire serial bus at address ACh.
