▼ Ideal for these customers ▼ ＼A popular product with a proven track record in automotive Ethernet evaluations and many repeat customers／

・While 1000BASE-T1 has begun to be adopted in ADAS and next-generation gateway development, we are having trouble connecting it directly to evaluation PCs (RJ-45).

We are considering SPE (Single Pair Ethernet) to reduce wiring in industrial equipment, but there is no readily available evaluation environment.

We have evaluation equipment for 100BASE-T1, but we now need equipment that can also handle 1000BASE-T1. ...etc.
