Test and measurement solutions for the highest demands
The ever-increasing networking of vehicles requires high-performance connectors that guarantee safe, fast and interference-free signal transmission. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of test equipment for coaxial and differential automotive connector series, such as FAKRA, HFM, RMC, RosenbergerHSD, H-MTD and MTD. Optimized test adapters enable precise validation of high-speed data connections and efficient performance of standardized measurements.
To ensure signal quality in automotive networks, the company offers specific test and measurement solutions for different connector technologies. For example, the coaxial HFM product line supports frequencies up to 20 GHz and data rates up to 28 Gbps, while RMC connectors are optimized for applications up to 9 GHz. The differential H-MTD product line for future-proofing vehicle electrical systems supports data rates up to 56 Gbps and frequencies up to 20 GHz. It is suitable for various Ethernet applications and protocols such as LVDS, APIX 3 and PCIe Gen3, offers a high degree of flexibility and saves up to 80% of installation space thanks to its modular design.
Standardized testing for safety and quality
Standardized high-speed connections are crucial for reliable implementation over the entire vehicle lifecycle. Simulation frameworks with worst-case models help to avoid inconsistent limits and optimize functional safety assessments. Clear responsibilities and liability assignments along the wire harness supply chain create a reliable basis for OEMs and suppliers. With these solutions, the company supports OEMs and suppliers in the safe and efficient development of modern vehicle architectures.
