100BASE-T1 offers a way to introduce modern signal processing in automotive, which allows optimal usage of the available channel characteristics.

TC2 goals are as follows:

• Define deterministic and robust transmission channel between the Ethernet enabled electronic control units.
• Specify requirements for Common Mode Choke (CMC), cables, connectors and harness manufacturing
• The solution needs to be reproducible in high volumes, at high quality and meets cost targets of today’s global automotive logistics

TC1 and TC2 in combination provide for the complete 100BASE-T1 application.
