Automotive Ethernet Translator Module (100BASE-T1)

This Automotive Ethernet Translator Module (AETM) is a specialist development and test interface used to convert Automotive Ethernet (100BASE-T1 / BroadR-Reach) into standard 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet (RJ45).

It enables direct connection between vehicle ECUs and PCs, laptops, switches, data loggers, test rigs and diagnostic tools using standard Ethernet hardware.

Important protocol note:
This unit is NOT CAN, NOT LIN and NOT FlexRay.
It supports Automotive Ethernet only (100BASE-T1).
