Technical Specifications

The BCM5705EKFBG supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet speeds. It features TCP/IP checksum offload, which reduces the processing load on the host CPU by performing checksum calculations in hardware. Segmentation offload further improves performance by handling the segmentation of large TCP packets. Wake-on-LAN (WoL) support enables remote system wake-up, reducing energy consumption. The controller complies with IEEE 802.3 standards for Ethernet communication, ensuring compatibility with existing network infrastructure. Jumbo frame support allows for larger packet sizes, increasing network throughput and efficiency.
