Press Release Learn More

The demand for more robust Ethernet products is growing as 2.5G speeds expand into enterprise, retail, and industrial single and multiport applications, and more PCs offer 2.5G Ethernet ports. 

The new MxL8628x and MxL8625x switches are optimized for 2.5G Ethernet, providing customers with a rich set of features while being substantially lower power and cost optimized relative to 10G and unoptimized 2.5G devices.
