Bcm84886 Exclusive - !new!

A proprietary Broadcom technology that allows legacy MACs that do not natively support EEE to still benefit from power-saving modes. Precision Timing:

You cannot walk onto Digi-Key or Mouser and buy a BCM84888. Unlike commodity Realtek PHYs found in consumer motherboards, the BCM84888 is allocated strictly to —think Cisco, Juniper, Arista, and Extreme Networks. Broadcom vets partners rigorously. If you are a white-box manufacturer in Taiwan trying to build a cheap 10G switch, you will be denied access to this chip. This supply scarcity creates the first layer of exclusivity: you must pay for a premium brand to touch this silicon. bcm84886 exclusive
