The Realtek RTL8125AG is a network controller chip designed to provide high-speed Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Mbps) connectivity for computers and networking equipment.
-
Gigabit Ethernet: The RTL8125AG supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for high-speed wired network connections.
-
Integrated MAC and PHY: Like other Realtek network controllers, it integrates the Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) components into a single chip, reducing cost and complexity in network interface design.
-
Compatibility: The RTL8125AG is typically compatible with various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and others, making it a widely used choice for network connectivity in different computing environments.
-
Auto-Negotiation: It supports auto-negotiation, allowing it to automatically select the highest available network speed (10/100/1000Mbps) and duplex mode (half or full) based on the connected network equipment.
-
Wake-On-LAN (WOL): The RTL8125AG commonly supports Wake-On-LAN, enabling the computer to be remotely powered on.
-
Energy Efficiency: Realtek network controllers often include features for energy-efficient Ethernet, reducing power consumption during periods of low network activity.
