10 Gb/s Connectivity Demo at Automotive Ethernet Congress

We’re grateful about the huge attention at the recent Automotive Ethernet Congress for our brand-new automotive optical multi-gigabit demo. In numerous meetings, our team displayed our first implementation compliant to IEEE Std 802.3cz. The demo setup operates in multimode multi-gigabit with 2 plates of multimode fiber 10GBASE-AU. In addition, we’re proud to show our optical multi-gigabit automotive Ethernet demo at the OPEN Alliance Inc. stand.

“We’re excited about the great interest from the automotive industry on the new optical multi gigabit communication technology from KDPOF,” stated Óscar Ciordia, Sales and Marketing Director. “The positive response once again confirmed this is the path forward!”

Video: Overview on Optical Multi-gigabit Connectivity in Vehicles

In order to fulfil the needs of future connected and automated vehicles, our next-generation automotive Ethernet provides high-speed links up to 100 Gb/s over glass optical fibers (GOF). Instead of various port components, the new solution delivers a single-component, complete automotive multi-gigabit system. The new connector systems are very small, light-weight, and extremely inexpensive compared to the previous ones. With cost-down and consistency in focus, optics, fibers, connectors, and electronics already developed for nGBASE-SR are leveraged. The according IEEE 802.3cz Standard is in the final release phase.
