100BASE-T1 MEDIA CONVERTER

 

 

A bi-directional physical layer converter between 100BASE-T1 (OPEN Alliance BroadR-Reach – OABR) and 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), enabling the user to easily connect automotive cameras or ECUs with OABR / Automotive Ethernet
media link to a standard computer network.

100BASE-T1 MEDIA CONVERTER

A bi-directional physical layer converter between 100BASE-T1 (OPEN Alliance BroadR-Reach – OABR) and 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), enabling the user to easily connect automotive cameras or ECUs with OABR / Automotive Ethernet
media link to a standard computer network.

 

The interface establishes a point-to-point link between an unshielded twisted-pair Automotive Ethernet (IEEE 100BASE-T1) port and a Fast Ethernet port. The converter features one DSUB9 (BroadR-Reach, CAN bus), one Fast Ethernet po

rt with RJ-45 connector, and a Micro-USB connector. The BroadR-Reach channel is configurable as either Master or Slave by a switch button or programmatically, and the device can be powered either via DSUB connector or via USB.

100BASE-T1 Media Converter Data Sheet

Features

  • 100BASE-T1 to 100BASE-TX media conversion
  • Master/Slave configuration for BroadR-Reach
  • DSUB9 connector for T1, RJ-45 connector for Ethernet
  • Power 9-30 V DC over DSUB or Micro-USB connector
  • 6 status LEDs
  • 2 DIP switches
  • Automatic polarity detection for OABR Slave
  • Media test for T1 cable – can detect a shortage, cut-off and impedance mismatch
  • Table top or DIN-rail mount

The converter offers a possibility to access SMI registers of both transreceivers (PHYs) via a CAN bus or a USB’s virtual serial port. This enables the user to evaluate signal strength, detect polarity of the T1 port, carry out a BroadR-Reach media test to diagnose cable errors, fine-tune the PHYs parameters, and generally to read and write the registers.

100BASE-T1 USB Interface

100BASE-T1-USB-Interface

The 100BASE-T1 USB Interface (Media Converter) connects a 100BASE-T1 network to any computer with an USB port. The converter acts as an Ethernet network interface card when plugged into an USB port. The interface easily connects Automotive Ethernet devices with OPEN Alliance BroadR-Reach (OABR) port, such as cameras or ECUs, directly to any PC without a need of an on-board network card.

 

The interface establishes a point-to-point link between an unshielded twisted-pair IEEE 100BASE-T1 (IEEE 802.3bw) port and USB-LAN port, and works as a Network Interface Card allowing the user to configure the network adapter’s parameters, such as IP address and mask. The converter features a DSUB9 (BroadR-Reach, CAN bus) and Micro-USB connector. The OABR channel’s Master/Slave configuration is selected by a switch button or programmatically.

Free PC application for Status Information

We offer a free-of-charge PC utility for reading status information out of the 100BASE-T1 USB Interface. Once you plug the adapter into computer’s USB port, the PC utility will show you interface’s port status, signal quality and T1 cable test result. This is useful for diagnostic and test purposes. The utility can also override Master/Slave configuration for T1 port.
