Description

1. Product Overview

The BUELE 100/1000BASE-T1-U30-TX is a high-performance USB 3.0 to automotive Ethernet converter designed for in-vehicle network development, diagnostics, and testing. It bridges standard USB-equipped PCs and laptops to 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet networks through a single compact adapter.

Powered entirely via the USB Type-A interface, the 100/1000BASE-T1-U30-TX requires no external power supply. On-board DIP switches enable real-time selection of communication speed (100 Mbps / 1 Gbps) and Master/Slave role, while dual status LEDs provide instant feedback on link status and system health. The rugged die-cast alloy enclosure ensures excellent EMI shielding and thermal dissipation.

The default T1 interface uses a Phoenix Contact 15EDG3.81-2P screw terminal. TE MATEnet and Rosenberger HMTD adapter boards are included as standard accessories, covering all major automotive Ethernet connector types.

 

Options for MATEnet  T1 interface.
