Abstract: A network connection device and a cable status detection method are provided. The network connection device is configured to connect and detect a connection cable. The network connection device includes an interface module, a physical layer transmission circuit and a cable status detection module. The interface module connects the connection cable. The physical layer transmission circuit sends signals to the connection cable or receives signals from the connection cable through the interface module. The cable status detection module receives a notification notifying that the physical layer transmission circuit is in a disable state, and detects the status of the connection cable and generates a detection result when the physical layer transmission circuit is in the disable state. In this way, the network connection device may transmit data signals though the connected connection cable and detect the status of the connection cable.

Abstract: An auto gain controller (AGC) and a control method thereof are provided. An input signal is amplified by a radio frequency (RF) amplifier and an intermediate frequency (IF) amplifier. When strength of the input signal is lower than a threshold, a gain curve of the RF amplifier is lowered while a gain curve of the IF amplifier is raised. When the strength of the input signal is greater than the threshold, a takeover point (TOP) of the IF amplifier is changed from a first takeover point to a second takeover point.
