CONNECTION SYSTEMS

Delphi Ethernet Connectivity
Delphi's advanced Ethernet Connectivity enables vehicle systems
to communicate and share information at a speed of 100 megabits
per second.
Built into the vehicle’s conventional wiring assembly, this
technology can support automated vehicle implementation by
enabling multiple protocols to share information quickly and
accurately along a common backbone.
As a premier electrical/electronic systems provider, Delphi has the
expertise to offer a robust, cost effective solution for Ethernet
integration into the wiring architecture of the vehicle.
