Rutronik offers MaxLinear G.hn Wave 2 family for high-speed networking
The ITU-T G.Hn standard for home networks puts an end to incompatibility in networking, says Rutronik, which has added MaxLinear’s G.hn Wave-2 products.
The Internet signal is distributed over any wired medium, meaning that power and telephone lines, twisted pair and coaxial cables have become the fast lane for data rates up to 2Gbits per second. MaxLinear‘s G.hn Wave-2 series include a baseband processor, analogue front end and Ethernet PHY as well as RGMII (1Gbit per second) or SGMII (2.5Gbits per second) interfaces. The MaxLinear G.hn Wave-2 series is available from distributor Rutronik.
There are three options for the G.hn baseband processor (88LX5152, 88LX5153 and 88LX5153A) and three options for the G.hn analogue front end (88LX2720, 88LX2730 and 88LX2741), allowing system designers to add flexibility to combine and match components.
The components are suitable for a wide range of G.hn applications in home networking and broadband, factory automation, smart building, smart grid, smart metering and smart cities. Rutronik adds that security-relevant applications, such as security cameras and door security systems, benefit from the fast transmission of high data rates.
Specifically adapted evaluation kits are available for powerline, phone line / twisted pair as well as coaxial cable.
