The recommended operating temperature range for the RTL8100CL is 0°C to 70°C (commercial temperature range) and -40°C to 85°C (industrial temperature range).
The RTL8100CL can be configured for half-duplex or full-duplex operation through the DUPLEX_MODE pin. A high level on this pin enables full-duplex operation, while a low level enables half-duplex operation.
The maximum cable length supported by the RTL8100CL is 100 meters, which is the standard maximum length for Ethernet cables.
The RTL8100CL has a built-in power management feature that can be controlled through the PME# (Power Management Event) pin. The chip can be put into a low-power state by asserting the PME# pin low.
The RTL8100CL supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10/100 Mbps, which is the standard data transfer rate for Fast Ethernet.
