1 Concept of the Device

The Easy CON device from GOEPEL electronics connects automotive
Ethernet networks using one pair BroadR-Reach Ethernet as physical­layer to standard LAN networks with 10Base-T/ 100Base-Tx physical­layer. The device comes with RJ45 connectors on both links. This
allows the use of shielded standard low-cost high-quality cables (CAT5
or CAT6) for the test-setup. For easy connection to the ECU cabling
harness, an adapter cable with 9-Pol. D-Sub connector is included.

The Easy CON Media Converter can be operated as BroadR-Reach
Master or Slave. Selection is easily done via a switch on the device`s
rear plate (not visible in the following figure).
