TTI Europe has expanded its Automotive offering with the introduction of TE Connectivity’s GEMnet multi-gigabit differential connector system, now avAIlable through its IP&E division.

The system is designed to support next-generation vehicle data requirements, delivering bandwidth of up to 15GHz and transmission speeds reaching 56Gbps.

The GEMnet series addresses the growing demand for high-speed connectivity in advanced automotive applications, including 4K camera systems, radar and lidar Sensors, high-resolution displays, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous driving technologies, and in-vehicle entertainment.

Built to automotive-grade standards, GEMnet is compatible with the USCAR interface and qualified to LV214 and USCAR specifications and it supports a wide range of industry protocols, such as multi-gigabit Ethernet (100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1, 2.5/5/10/25GBASE-T1) and SerDes technologies including APIX, FPD-Link, GMSL, MIPI A-PHY, PCIe, USB, GVIF, HDBase-T, and ASA Motion Link.

Key mechanical features include primary and secondary locking systems, robust crimp design, high cable retention force, anti-stubbing pin protection, and scoop-proof construction. Optional Connector Position Assurance (CPA) is also available.

The system also offers strong EMI performance through multiple contact points and supports various cable types, including shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), and new high-performance cables.

The portfolio includes 90° and 180° terminals, sealed and unsealed PCB connectors, and housings in configurations of one, two, four, and six ports.

According to Dermot Byrne, Industry Marketing Director for Transportation at TTI Europe, “TE Connectivity's GEMnet series is a truly groundbreaking solution for the rapidly evolving automotive data landscape. The automotive-grade GEMnet series, with its unparalleled 15GHz bandwidth and up to 56Gbps data transmission capabilities, perfectly aligns with the advanced requirements of next-generation vehicles.”
