Fast/Gigabit Automotive Ethernet to Standard Ethernet converter with advanced features
The 100/1000BASE-T1 Media Converter MATEnet establishes a point-to-point link between the Automotive Ethernet and Standard Ethernet, supports both 100 Mbit and 1000 Mbit speeds, and features the TE MATEnet connector. (Also available with a Rosenberger H-MTD connector.)
The media converter realizes a full-duplex physical-layer conversion between 1000BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), or 100BASE-T1 and 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet) networks, and features TE MATEnet and RJ-45 connectors. Communication speed and master/slave settings can be auto-negotiated with a link partner or set manually by the user.
