The 100/1000BASE-T1 Media Converter v2 H-MTD is an automotive Ethernet converter supporting both MACsec (TC17) security and sleep/wake-up (TC10) functionality.
The device provides full-duplex physical-layer conversion between 1000BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) or 100BASE-T1 and 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet) networks. It is equipped with Rosenberger H-MTD and RJ-45 connectors. Communication speed and master/slave mode can be auto-negotiated with the link partner or manually configured by the user.
The TC10 function enables transmission and reception of sleep and wake-up commands, while MACsec adds data-link-layer security through configurable RX and TX Secure Association Keys (SAKs).
A USB (Virtual COM Port) interface allows configuration of device parameters and reading of status information programmatically. Additionally, the device can operate as a USB-to-CAN(/FD) interface.
The product variant with TE MATEnet connector is also available.
Features
- Automotive Ethernet to Standard Ethernet conversion

- OPEN Alliance’s sleep/wake-up (TC10) support
- 1000BASE-T1 and 100BASE-T1 support
- 100/1000 Mbit full-duplex communication
- Speed auto-negotiation or manual selection
- Master/slave auto-negotiation or manual selection
- Automatic polarity detection on T1 port
- Frame generator mode
- USB for configuration, status and port diagnostic
- Free-of-charge PC application
- Can be used as a USB to CAN(/FD) interface
- USB or externally powered
- Aluminium enclosure
- DIN rail mounting possibility
The media converter offers advanced features such as frame generator, cable diagnostic, as well as a possibility to be used as a USB to CAN(/FD) interface simultaneously with the media conversion function. The device uses the H-MTD Automotive Ethernet connector (USCAR 777-U-002-1-Z01 compliant).
A free-of-charge PC application is available to visualise the device’s status, configure its parameters and use the advanced functions, such as MACsec and TC10.
The open communication protocol over USB or CAN(/FD), which allows to read status information and configure port parameters, enables to easily integrate the converter into any system. The user can programmatically configure the device (such as T1 port parameters, TC10, MACsec), and read its status.
The media converter is an ideal tool for connecting a 100BASE-T1/1000BASE-T1 ECU or network to a computer or laptop. The in-built status LEDs and dip switches allow to easily use the converter without a PC.

Free of Charge PC Application
The 100/1000BASE-T1 Media Converter v2 PC application is provided free-of-charge.
Features:
- Read ports status: link, speed, master/slave, signal quality, insertion and return loss
- Override converter configuration: auto-negotiation, 100/1000 speed, master/slave mode
- Configure TC10: read TC10 state, transmit wake-up and sleep commands on the T1 port, enter local sleep
- Configure MACsec
- Run cable test
- Use the media converter as a USB-CAN(/FD) interface: configure CAN channel, transmit/receive CAN and CAN FD frames
The application is available for Microsoft Windows and uses the .NET framework.
Communication Protocol for Integration
The open communication protocol is available to access the media converter over USB or CAN(/FD). The protocol allows to remotely read status and configure both T1 and standard Ethernet ports, configure TC10 and MACsec, and use the device as a USB-CAN(FD) interface.
