TE Connectivity MATEnet Modular and Scalable Automotive Ethernet Connectors

TE Connectivity MATEnet Modular and Scalable Automotive Ethernet Connectors offer up to 10 positions and come in both straight and right-angle mounting. These connectors are capable of transmitting up to 1Gbps as per IEEE 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 standards (potentially upgradeable to 6Gbps with alternative technologies) and are designed for harsh automotive environments. The MATEnet connectors are specifically designed for IEEE automotive Ethernet networks and rely on automotive-grade, miniaturized, robust, and proven interconnection technology. These automotive Ethernet connectors find applications in in-vehicle networks, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and 360° surround view cameras.
