PCM-ZC-0223 Waterproof MATEnet Z-Code Automotive Ethernet Cable
PCM-ZC-0223 is a dual-sealed MATEnet Z-Code female-to-female Automotive Ethernet extension cable.
Both P1 and P2 use TE Connectivity 1802105-9 MATEnet Z-Code female sealable connectors, linked by GG 2Speed 251 high-speed differential cable to create a direct Z-Code female-to-female extension.
It is a passive automotive high-speed data cable assembly containing no PHY, switch, SerDes converter, or protocol-conversion IC. Its purpose is to extend the physical data link between compatible automotive devices, ECUs, or test nodes using MATEnet Z-Code interfaces.

It is a passive automotive high-speed data cable assembly containing no PHY, switch, SerDes converter, or protocol-conversion IC. Its purpose is to extend the physical data link between compatible automotive devices, ECUs, or test nodes using MATEnet Z-Code interfaces.
PCM-ZC-0223 is primarily designed to extend a high-speed differential data link between two compatible MATEnet Z-Code interfaces.
For example, when an ECU, ADAS controller, gateway, zonal controller, or Automotive Ethernet test device is located farther away than the original harness permits, this MATEnet Z-Code extension cable provides an approximately 2m pre-assembled connection path.
Compared with a conventional MATEnet test extension, another key feature is the sealable 1802105-9 architecture at both ends, making the assembly particularly suitable for automotive connection areas exposed to moisture, splash, dust, or environmental contamination.
Why Is This Product Needed ?
Modern vehicle electronic architectures are increasingly distributed. The physical distance between ADAS ECUs, camera controllers, gateways, zonal controllers, and central computing platforms can increase, while equipment normally provides MATEnet interfaces at fixed installation points.
This creates three practical requirements.
First, the original connection distance may be insufficient. A MATEnet high-speed data link may need to be extended when device positions or test-bench layouts change.
Second, conventional open test interfaces may be unsuitable for environmentally sensitive locations. If both connection points are exposed to moisture, splash, or dust, sealing only one end may not satisfy the intended environmental design.
Third, high-speed differential links should not be extended with arbitrary generic cables. Automotive Ethernet engineering requires attention to characteristic impedance, insertion loss, return loss, and the complete link budget.
PCM-ZC-0223 therefore integrates 1802105-9 + GG 2Speed 251 + 1802105-9 into one pre-assembled female-to-female extension cable.

Product Features
Dual MATEnet Z Code Female Interfaces
P1 and P2 use identical TE 1802105-9 Z-Code female connectors, creating a direct female-to-female extension without coding conversion and maintaining the original MATEnet Z-Code interface architecture.
Dual Sealable Architecture
TE officially specifies Sealable = Yes for 1802105-9, providing a sealing architecture at both connection points and making the assembly more suitable for demanding automotive environments than conventional open MATEnet extensions.
100Ω Differential Link Design
PCM-ZC-0223 uses a 100Ω nominal impedance design, while TE also specifies 100Ω impedance for the 1802105-9 connector, providing a consistent differential impedance architecture across the cable assembly.
1:1 Direct Pin Mapping
Pin 1, Pin 2, and the shell are directly mapped to their corresponding terminals without crossover wiring or active conversion, supporting straightforward high-speed link extension and interface replication in test environments.
Core Application Scenarios
Core Performance Advantages
What is TE 1802105-9 ?
TE 1802105-9 is a MATEnet Z-Code data connectivity housing. TE specifies it as sealable, a housing for female terminals, 100Ω, with a 180° cable exit for cable-to-board and cable-to-cable applications.
What is PCM-ZC-0223 mainly used for ?
It is primarily used to extend a high-speed data link between two compatible MATEnet Z-Code interfaces while providing a sealable architecture at both connection points.
Is it a protocol converter ?
No. PCM-ZC-0223 is a passive cable assembly with no PHY or protocol-conversion electronics. It provides physical link extension only.
Can 1m, 3m or 5m versions be customized ?
Other lengths can be developed according to equipment placement and vehicle routing, but changes in high-speed link length should be followed by validation of insertion loss, return loss, signal integrity, and the complete link budget.
Does DC–10GHz mean 10Gbps ?
No. GHz describes frequency, while Gbps describes data rate. DC–10GHz is specified on the PCM-ZC-0223 engineering drawing and should not be interpreted directly as 10Gbps data capability. TE specifies a 0–0.6GHz operating frequency range for the 1802105-9 connector itself.
