Kvaser Arcus 100-1000-T1 H-MTD

Compact, powerful Automotive Ethernet converter for embedded and standard PCs.

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, stable, and secure full-duplex conversion between Automotive Ethernet 100/1000BASE-T1 and Standard Ethernet 100/1000BASE-T, making it suitable for lab testing, in-vehicle development, and system start-up workflows. Its transparent back-to-back PHY architecture enables deeper link-level insight and precise analysis of physical-layer behavior during development and validation.

Designed for simple integration into embedded computers, it can also be installed in standard computers using the Kvaser ATX Bracket for Arcus 100/1000BASE-T1 H-MTD (EAN 73-30130-01811-2).

Major Features

Monitor Automotive Ethernet traffic from a data logger or test PC during vehicle development and testing.
Flash ECUs over Automotive Ethernet, IP/Ethernet-based protocols, by connecting a vehicle network to a development PC.
Access link-level information for debugging tasks using PHY-exposed parameters such as link status, speed, and signal quality.
Transmit crafted Ethernet frames for testing ECU behavior, link robustness, and protocol handling.
Evaluate secure communication behavior by observing MAC-layer characteristics and checking resilience to invalid or unexpected traffic.
Verify cable integrity using SQI (Signal Quality Index), BER (Bit Error Rate), and built-in cable diagnostics to detect shorts, opens, and pair mismatches.
Supports testing of partial networks by allowing a PC application to emulate expected link activity when an ECU is not present.
Check early-boot communication sequences between ECUs and bootloaders during initial system start-up.
Intuitive API and GUI for adjusting PHY settings and configurations via USB.
Designed to meet the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) as well as Open Alliance recommendations.
