A powerful and compact Automotive Ethernet converter for embedded and standard PCs

The Kvaser Arcus 100/1000BASE-T1 H-MTD is a high-performance Automotive Ethernet media converter that simplifies access to vehicle networks. Designed for engineers and developers, Kvaser Arcus is capable of providing fast, stable, and secure conversion between 100/1000BASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet and your development workstation—ideal for lab testing, in-vehicle development, and everything in between.

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 Arcus ATX Bracket (EAN 73-30130-01811-2). (Sold separately)

For flexible bench work and portable setups use Kvaser Arcus Housing (EAN 73-30130-01813-6). (Sold separately)

EAN# 73-30130-01810-5

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
