AE6000L Automotive Ethernet Channel Testing Solution

Automotive Ethernet Conformance Test Software for Cables, Connectors and Harnesses

AE6900L is now AE6000L the functionality is the same, with just a different top level model number.
Next-generation ADAS systems require camera and radar systems with high resolution, which require increased speed and bandwidth. The automotive Ethernet standard enables faster data communication to meet the demands of today’s vehicles and the connected vehicles of the future. However, the channel or link in a system can create a point of failure and as such must be fully tested.

Keysight’s automotive Ethernet conformance channel test solution verifies that information is carried, without loss or cross talk, to its intended destination.

The solution ensures signal quality requirements with conformance testing for the channel, including harness, cables or connectors. The solution is built on functional and multipurpose hardware that can be fully utilized for other tasks and tests when not actively used for automotive Ethernet channel tests.

The AE6000L solution provides a bundle of hardware, software and accessories to help you understand the integrity of your automotive Ethernet channel.

Standards supported
