Automotive Ethernet Interface

The Intrepid RAD-Moon family of Media Converters has a new member supporting the latest Automotive Ethernet technology. 10BASE-T1S is a low-cost, low-speed, multidrop version of Automotive Ethernet widely considered for the replacement of CAN and CAN FD.

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 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 converts the Ethernet physical layer from 2.5GBASE-T1, 5GBASE-T1, 10GBASE-T1 “MultiGig” 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)

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.

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-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.

Intrepid’s RAD-Jupiter is a rugged 7-port managed switch designed specifically for bench and vehicle network development. In addition to its Ethernet functionality, it integrates many of the key CAN, LIN, and scripting features found in our ValueCAN 4 family of tools.

Intrepid’s RAD-Galaxy 2 is a multi-purpose Ethernet Active Tap and Gateway for Automotive Ethernet.

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.
