The MaxLinear MxL86112I is a single‑port Gigabit Ethernet PHY designed for stable operation across industrial environments. It supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1,000 Mbps data rates and connects through an SGMII interface, making it suitable for embedded networking hardware using copper‑based Ethernet links.

The device supports 1000BASE‑T, 100BASE‑TX, and 10BASE‑Te operation. Features such as energy‑efficient Ethernet (EEE) and Wake‑on‑LAN help reduce overall system power usage during idle states. Its compact 5 mm × 5 mm QFN‑40 package and low‑power design allow efficient integration into routers, gateways, and enterprise‑class access points where power and space are limited.

Engineered for harsh operating conditions, the MxL86112I offers thermal protection and supports an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, ensuring predictable performance in industrial and embedded systems.
