  • Page 9: 10/100 Ethernet Phy Ports

    4.4 10/100 Ethernet PHY Ports There are one 10/100 Ethernet PHY ports on the KSZ8873MML evaluation board. The ports can be connected to an Ethernet traffic generator or analyzer via standard RJ-45 connectors using CAT-5 cables. Each port can be used as either an uplink or downlink. Both ports support auto MDI/MDI-X, eliminating the need for cross over cables.
