Kvaser Arcus 100/1000BASE-T1 H-MTD

The Kvaser Arcus 100/1000BASE-T1 H-MTD (EAN 73-30130-01810-5) is a compact media converter that joins a 100/1000BASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet link to ordinary 100/1000BASE-T Ethernet in full duplex, so a laptop, server or data logger can reach the vehicle network through a standard RJ45 port. Because the conversion is transparent, the same unit serves from ECU bring-up and debugging through to validation. It is built as an embedded board; to fit it in a standard PC, add the Kvaser Arcus ATX Bracket (EAN 73-30130-01811-2), and for bench or portable use, the Kvaser Arcus Housing (EAN 73-30130-01813-6), both sold separately. Pertech is the authorized Kvaser sales representative in Israel.

Where the Arcus fits

• Flashing ECUs over DoIP or IP/Ethernet stacks from a laptop or server
• Debugging and logging traffic while developing Ethernet ECUs and gateways
• Packet injection to check how an ECU copes with specific link conditions
• Cybersecurity testing, including inspection of secure traffic and MAC-level injection checks
• Standing in for ECUs that are not yet available, using PC applications on a partial network
• Monitoring Automotive Ethernet traffic in a development vehicle from a logger or test PC
• Testing early-boot communication between ECUs and bootloaders
