MediaConverters of Technica Engineering are compact and reliable devices for development and testing activities. These hardware tools establish a physical layer conversion between Automotive Ethernet IEEE connections and any device with a standard Ethernet Network Interface Card with a RJ-45 connector.

MediaConverters can be statically configured for standalone operation but also controlled remotely for dynamic operation.
Standalone operation is defined via 4x DIP switches for basic configuration of the device:
DIP Switch 1: Master/Slave
DIP Switch 2: not used
DIP Switch 3: not used
DIP Switch 4: Frame Generator
For advanced use cases, to control remotely the operation or additional debugging purposes, there is a serial interface (console), which is accessible through micro USB-B connector. This interface enables the users to read TX/RX register counters, SQI values of the channels, CRC errors, and other information as well as dynamically change the MediaConverters configuration overriding DIP switches. It can also be used for Firmware updates of the device.
MediaConverters transmit data frames directly from the physical layer 100BASE-T1 and the physical layer 100BASE-TX, with a deterministic and constant delay of approximately 2 microseconds.
MediaConverters of Technica Engineering can be used on the development desk and even in harsh environments. With its robust design and ease of use, it’s perfect for integration into test racks, rapid prototyping, and lab setups. Whether you’re testing for data transmission, link quality, or interfacing between Ethernet speed, this converter offers a reliable, efficient solution for automotive Ethernet applications.
