Product Description

Description

Kvaser Arcus 100/1000BASE-T1 H-MTD is a high-performance Automotive Ethernet media converter designed to simplify access to vehicle networks. It provides fast and reliable full-duplex conversion between Automotive Ethernet 100/1000BASE-T1 and Standard Ethernet 100/1000BASE-T, making it suitable for lab testing, in-vehicle development, ECU debugging, traffic monitoring, and system start-up workflows. Its transparent media conversion architecture enables efficient communication between Automotive Ethernet and standard Ethernet networks during development and validation.

Designed for embedded systems, it can also be installed in standard computers using the Kvaser Arcus ATX Bracket.

For bench-top or portable use, select the Kvaser Arcus Housing.

Please Note: Kvaser Arcus ATX Bracket and Kvaser Arcus Housing are sold separately.

 

Major Features

  • Flash ECUs over Automotive Ethernet (DoIP or IP/Ethernet stacks), bridging the vehicle’s Ethernet bus to a developer laptop or server.
  • Evaluate how an ECU behaves under specific link conditions by injecting packets to test reliability and compliance.
  • Use during development of Ethernet-enabled ECUs or gateways as a media bridge for debugging and logging traffic.
  • Serves as an Ethernet connection point during cybersecurity testing to inspect secure traffic or test resistance to MAC-level injection attacks.
  • Simulates unavailable ECUs in a partial network using applications.
  • Connects to a data logger or test PC to monitor Automotive Ethernet traffic from a running development vehicle.
  • Enables test of early-boot communication between ECUs and bootloaders over Automotive Ethernet.
  • Complies with the requirements of R155/ISO 21434 and CRA/IEC 62443.
  • Supports Secure Boot: only signed and encrypted firmware will run on the device, ensuring that the unit has not been tampered with.
  • Supports TC10 for Automotive Ethernet 100/1000 BASE-T1 for wake up and sleep functionality.
  • Designed to meet the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) as well as Open Alliance recommendations
