Technical Specifications

The Intel WGI218LM is a single-port Gigabit Ethernet PHY that supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T Ethernet standards. It adheres to IEEE 802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet), reducing power consumption during periods of low network activity. Wake-on-LAN (WoL) allows for remote system power-on. Intel Active Management Technology (iAMT) allows for remote system management and troubleshooting, particularly beneficial in corporate environments. The device generally uses a Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII) to communicate with the MAC controller. The typical operating temperature is between 0°C and 70°C. Power supply voltage is usually 3.3V.
