Product Description
The MT7511T is primarily used in home routers, set-top boxes, network switches, gateways, and other Ethernet-enabled consumer networking devices. Its 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports (4 LAN and 1 WAN) provide high-speed, reliable, and efficient data transfer, making it ideal for homes and small businesses that require a robust, wired network infrastructure.
Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity:
The MT7511T offers Gigabit Ethernet support across its ports, ensuring fast and high-bandwidth data transfer. This is ideal for users who rely on wired connections for applications like 4K video streaming, online gaming, and large file sharing. With Gigabit Ethernet speeds (1000 Mbps), it can handle data-heavy activities efficiently.
Non-blocking Switching Fabric:
The MT7511T features a non-blocking switching fabric, which means that it can handle traffic from all connected ports simultaneously without creating bottlenecks or congestion. This is a crucial feature for environments where multiple devices are connected and communicating at the same time, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted data flow.
Traffic Management with QoS:
The QoS feature in the MT7511T allows for the prioritization of traffic types, ensuring that real-time applications like VoIP calls and live streaming receive higher priority than other types of traffic. This reduces latency and improves the user experience for latency-sensitive applications.
VLAN Support for Network Segmentation:
VLAN tagging enables the creation of isolated logical networks within a physical infrastructure. For example, guest networks or IoT device networks can be isolated from the main office or home network to improve security and control traffic flow. VLANs also provide better network management by segregating different types of traffic according to need or priority.
Energy Efficiency:
The Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard supported by the MT7511T helps lower energy consumption, especially during periods of low activity. Devices using this chipset can reduce their environmental impact and minimize operational costs without compromising performance. This feature is particularly beneficial for always-on devices like home routers, network switches, and gateways that are constantly running.
Integration and Use Cases:
The MT7511T is highly integrated, offering a balance of performance, energy efficiency, and advanced networking features. It is ideal for consumer networking products like home routers, set-top boxes, gateways, and Ethernet switches where high-speed wired connectivity is essential. Its ability to support multiple devices with efficient traffic management makes it suitable for homes or small office environments where multiple users or IoT devices are connected.
Specification
Ethernet Ports:
5 Gigabit Ethernet Ports: The MT7511T supports 4 LAN ports for connecting devices to a local network and 1 WAN port for connecting to an external network or internet. The Gigabit Ethernet support provides high-speed data transfer capabilities (1000 Mbps), ideal for large-scale data consumption such as media streaming and high-speed file sharing.
Switching Capacity:
The non-blocking switching fabric ensures that the data transfer between the connected devices is smooth and efficient, with no data bottlenecks, even when multiple devices are actively using the network. This feature makes the MT7511T well-suited for busy home networks or small office environments where several devices may be connected simultaneously.
MAC Layer Support:
The chipset integrates MAC (Media Access Control) functionality, ensuring efficient and reliable data transmission. It reduces transmission errors and helps maintain high network performance even during peak usage times.
Throughput:
The MT7511T supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds (1000 Mbps) for each port, providing fast data transfer rates suitable for demanding applications such as video conferencing, high-definition media streaming, and large file transfers.
VLAN Tagging:
The MT7511T supports 802.1Q VLAN tagging, allowing network administrators to create virtual networks within the same physical infrastructure. This feature helps improve security, traffic management, and network performance by isolating sensitive traffic and reducing network congestion.
Energy Efficient Ethernet:
The MT7511T supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which allows it to reduce power consumption during periods of low traffic. This is especially useful in always-on devices like routers and switches, where power-saving features help to lower energy costs over time.
