HSINCHU, Taiwan – November 27, 2024 – Realtek Semiconductor Corp. (Taiwan Stock Exchange: 2379.TW), a world-leading network and multimedia IC provider, announced today that its RTL8126-CG 5 Gigabit Ethernet Controller has won a 2025 Taiwan Excellence Award.
The Taiwan Excellence Awards were established in 1993. Eligible candidates are subjected to a rigorous and stringent selection process that covers 4 aspects: R&D, Design, Quality, and Marketing to identify outstanding products that offer innovative value while satisfying the key criterion of being made in Taiwan.
Realtek’s RTL8126-CG increases network speed to 5Gbps, providing fast and stable support for high-resolution multimedia, gaming, and efficient data transfer across multiple devices. The RTL8126-CG enables users to upgrade to high-speed networking over existing Cat 5e cables, making it both cost-effective and easy to deploy for homes and businesses. In 2024, the RTL8126-CG has been widely adopted by high-end motherboards to meet increasing network demands.
The RTL8126-CG is particularly suited for creators handling multimedia files, with 5GbE bandwidth significantly boosting the efficiency of transferring large data files across internal networks, enhancing productivity in high-bandwidth tasks like video editing and 3D rendering. The RTL8126-CG operates at approximately 50% lower power than similar products in the market, with power consumption further reduced to around 500mW when EEE mode is enabled, significantly reducing energy demands. This efficient, low-power design aligns with Realtek’s commitment to environmental sustainability, contributing to a greener planet. The RTL8126-CG provides built-in RealWoW technology that offers remote wake-up and diagnostics, enhancing data stability and convenient remote management, establishing the RTL8126-CG as a trusted green networking solution worldwide.
Realtek’s Vice President and Spokesman, Yee-Wei Huang said, “The RTL8126-CG provides fast, stable connectivity that meets the needs of multimedia users and creators handling large data transfers across multiple devices, making it the ideal solution for the future of smart networking”.
