The ZD Converter series are media converters that translate between automotive Ethernet and standard Ethernet in both directions (ZD Converter 1000 supports up to 1000M; ZD Converter 10G supports up to 10G). They are plug-and-play: no configuration software is needed and they work directly from a PC. The ZD Converter 1000 switches port settings with DIP switches, while the ZD Converter 10G supports DIP switches, wired control and USB programming, including master/slave mode and rate. On-board LEDs show the current status, and power can come from USB or VBAT. A practical tool for analysing automotive Ethernet on a PC, it simplifies development, testing and validation.
One-to-one physical-layer port conversion between automotive Ethernet and standard Ethernet: the ZD Converter 1000 supports 1000M and the ZD Converter 10G supports up to 10G.
No configuration software needs to be installed — it works directly from a PC.
The ZD Converter 1000 switches port settings (master/slave mode and rate) with DIP switches; the ZD Converter 10G offers DIP switches, wired control and USB programming.
On-board LEDs show the device's current operating status in real time.
Powered flexibly from USB or VBAT, reliable and safe on both the desktop and in the vehicle.
Beyond media conversion, the ZD Converter Plus series (1500H / 2000H) adds sniffer, full-duplex full-rate sniffer and interceptor modes (see below).
Performs one-to-one physical-layer port conversion between automotive Ethernet and standard Ethernet. The ZD Converter 1000 supports 1000M and the ZD Converter 10G supports conversion at up to 10G.
Beyond media conversion, the Plus series adds sniffing: it keeps automotive Ethernet communication between devices running while capturing the traffic and forwarding it to a standard Ethernet port.
For scenarios that require ECU debugging, the ZD Converter 2000H provides an interceptor mode. In this mode the two automotive Ethernet ports are not directly connected: the user can interfere with the automotive Ethernet traffic through a software tool while a data logger records the vehicle-side communication through the standard Ethernet port.
