H-MTD^® Ethernet Connectors

Future ready for next speed level up to 20Ghz

Enabling Smart Mobility while Optimizing Tomorrow’s Vehicle’s Architecture

At Aptiv, we understand the full electrical architecture of today’s and tomorrow’s vehicles. By leveraging a unique expertise in architecture optimization and new mobility software enabled solutions, we manage complexity over the whole system and simplify components integration to deliver the high-speed data and high-power electrical systems required for feature-rich, highly automated vehicles.

A standard solution to optimize Data Integrity

Automotive in-vehicle network speeds are increasing at an exponential rate. Future systems will require multi-gig data transfer rates with connections that support rates up to 20 GHz. Ensuring data integrity at every level is becoming critical. A reliable and fully shielded two-wire solution is required to avoid any loss in speed or signal quality.

Our technical partnership with the high frequency connectivity company Rosenberger allows us to enhance capabilities in high-speed data transmission to deliver high-performance, cost-effective, high-speed data solutions for the automotive market Our global engineering and manufacturing footprint allows us to serve our global customers locally.
