The PAE-Media Converter provides bidirectional conversion between standard Ethernet and automotive Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE). It thus connects a PC or standard network equipment to the ECUs and onboard buses using Automotive Ethernet, with bit-level transparent transmission.
The converter supports Fast Ethernet (100BASE-T1) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T1), with a bit rate set manually or negotiated automatically. On the SPE side, the connector is switchable between H-MTD and MATEnet, covering the main vehicle connector standards.
Rugged and compact, it is housed in a profiled aluminum housing with bracket mounting, operates from -40 to +85 °C, and is powered by 6–36 V (dedicated connector) or 5 V via USB-C. Configuration is done via DIP switches, supplemented if needed by a USB API for software configuration and diagnostics.
