The VRC7016L-KIT is a development system from MaxLinear that assists in the development of maxLinear’s MxL7016 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem and media gateway products. This kit includes a motherboard, a motherboard controller board, a Gigabit Ethernet switch, an RF front end board, an FPGA development board, a power supply, and an enclosure for the kit. This system is a complete solution for evaluation, prototyping and small-scale production applications. It provides an environment for software/firmware development, testing of multiple RF channels and displaying signal signal characteristics. This kit provides an interface to connect to external Gigabit Ethernet switches, DOCSIS 3.1 CMTS, packet-forwarding and 802.11 Wi-Fi access points. It allows demonstrations of the MxL7016 modem/gateway product with DOCSIS 3.1 applications.
