General Description

The KSZ8893MQL/MBL, a highly integrated layer 2 managed switch, is designed for low port count, cost-sensitive 10/100 Mbps switch systems. It offers an extensive feature set that includes rate limiting, tag/port-based VLAN, QoS priority, management, management information base (MIB) counters, RMII/MII/SNI, and CPU control/data interfaces to effectively address both current and emerging Fast Ethernet applications.
