BCM56228

Description

The BCM56228 is a highly integrated and cost-effective multilayer Ethernet switch from the Broadcom StrataXGS® product line. BCM56228 is a single-chip solution with a high-performance 32-bit MIPS CPU and 12 GbE ports, where four of the GbE ports can also be configured to run as 2.5 GbE uplinks.

The BCM56228 is a member of the Enterprise Value GbE product line. The BCM56228 incorporates 12 GbE ports that can operate at 10/100/1000 Mbps; four of them can operate at 2.5 Gb, ideal for low-cost stacking or uplink. The HGL uplink interface is used to connect to other devices via low-cost standard CAT-7 cables in the BCM56228 to create a larger stacking system.
