Hit the ground running with Intrepid’s full line of Automotive Ethernet tools!

Automotive Ethernet (AE) represents the latest challenge to the status quo in automotive networking. Many OEMs are now moving forward with this exciting new technology, which promises high performance at low cost, especially for infotainment applications.

Capturing Automotive Ethernet Frames
Automotive Ethernet traffic cannot be monitored using the same techniques employed for buses like CAN. Ethernet networks use star topology, so there is no single point to monitor an entire network. The sophisticated technology employed also means bit values cannot be interpreted directly from voltage levels. Finally, Ethernet hardware silently discards erroneous frames, making diagnosing problem conditions difficult. Intrepid’s tools are designed to address all of these issues conveniently and efficiently.

RAD-Comet 3
The RAD-Comet 3 is a versatile device for developing and testing 10BASE-T1S communication in automotive systems. It can be programmed to simulate a node on a 10BASE-T1S network as well as capture and analyze 10BASE-T1S traffic simultaneously with other vehicle networks.
88Q2221M 1000BASE-T1 with TC10 and MACsec SFP Module
88Q2221M 1000BASE-T1 with TC10 and MACsec SFP Module
Intrepid Controls has developed an Automotive Ethernet Small Form Pluggable (SFP) module based on the Marvell 88Q2221M single-pair Ethernet physical layer transceiver (PHY) that is designed to work with both 100/1000BASE-T1 speeds.
RAD-Galaxy 2
RAD-Galaxy 2
Intrepid’s RAD-Galaxy 2 is a multi-purpose Ethernet Active Tap and Gateway for Automotive Ethernet.
RAD-Epsilon-XL
RAD-Epsilon XL
RAD-Epsilon XL is a rugged 19-port Gigabit managed switch designed specifically for bench or in-vehicle development. In addition to offering 6-way H-MTD connection systems for 100/1000BASE-T1, it features one of the latest Automotive Ethernet physical layer transceivers (PHY), the Marvell 88Q222xM. This PHY contains the functionality required for devices to meet the OPEN Alliance TC17 MACsec Automotive Profile requirements. MACsec is seeing rapid adoption by new Automotive Ethernet architectures for its ability to provide the lowest level of authentication and encryption to protect against network intrusions like man-in-the-middle and replay attacks.
SFP
88Q2112 1000BASE-T1 SFP Module
Intrepid Controls has developed a two wire ethernet Small Form Pluggable (SFP) module based on the Marvell 88Q2112-A2 PHY. Designed to work with both 100/1000Base-T1 speeds and compatible in both IEEE and non-IEEE compliant modes.
RAD-Epsilon
RAD-Epsilon Family
Intrepid’s RAD-Epsilon is a rugged 9-port Gigabit managed switch with Nvidia Jetson Nano Integration designed specifically for bench/vehicle network and Autonomous development.
RAD-Meteor-10BASE-T1S
RAD-Meteor
Intrepid’s RAD-Meteor is a cost effective means to add a 10BASE-T1S (IEEE Std 802.3cg) port to your computer using USB. In addition to monitoring 10BASE-T1S traffic as if it were a standard Ethernet port, the RAD-Meteor network adapter supports the test modes and wave forms required to test the 10BASE-T1S network.
RAD-Moon
The inexpensive, pocket-sized RAD-Moon easily interfaces conventional Ethernet with BroadR-Reach® (100BASE-T1 compatible). Powered by USB, the RAD-Moon allows you to communicate directly between a PC and an Automotive Ethernet ECU.
RAD-Moon-2
RAD-Moon 2
RAD-Moon 2 allows you to convert from 100/1000BASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet to standard 10/100/1000 Ethernet, useful for connecting a PC to a 100/1000BASE-T1 host or switch.
RAD-Moon 3
RAD-Moon 3
Intrepid’s RAD-Moon 3 is the latest Ethernet Media Converter for Automotive Ethernet applications. The RAD-Moon 3 converts the Ethernet physical layer from MultiGBASE-T1 to MultiGBASE-T. This is needed to directly connect a PC equipped with the standard 8-wire Ethernet to an automotive ECU or Switch which use the 2-wire version of Ethernet specific to In-Vehicle Networks. (IVNs)
RAD-Star 2
Intrepid’s RAD-Star 2 is a multi-purpose, dual Ethernet gateway for Automotive Ethernet applications. Using the RAD-Star 2, you can monitor both sides of a BroadR-Reach® (100BASE-T1 compatible) connection or connect your laptop to 2 nodes in media converter mode. As a gateway to standard 8-wire Gigabit Ethernet, RAD-Star 2 makes any existing standard Ethernet device, laptop, or data logger compatible with BroadR-Reach® (100BASE-T1 compatible).
RAD-Galaxy
Intrepid’s RAD-Galaxy is a multi-purpose Ethernet multi active-tap, media converter and ISO CAN FD tool for Automotive Ethernet applications. Using the RAD-Galaxy, you can monitor both sides of up to 6 BroadR-Reach® (100BASE-T1 compatible) links in active tap mode, or connect your laptop to up to 12 nodes in media converter mode. In addition to supporting Automotive Ethernet, the RAD-Galaxy supports 8 ISO CAN FD networks, 1 LIN channel and a Diagnostics over IP (DoIP) channel.
RAD-Gigastar
The RAD-Gigastar can monitor one pair of 100/1000BASE-T1* connections with an additional pair of SFP cages to support optical/ copper SFP transceivers. In addition, the RAD-Gigastar can also operate as a programmable gateway to create an Ethernet-to-Ethernet or a CAN-Ethernet gateway.
