Connector Details and Bench Setup
Original TE MATEnet Interface
Both ends of the PCM-ZC-0277-X use original TE 2302461-9 MATEnet Plug Z Code connectors. The identical connector configuration provides a direct connection between two compatible MATEnet interfaces without requiring different connector types at opposite ends. The molded housing incorporates the keyed mating profile and locking features of the MATEnet connector series. This consistent interface arrangement simplifies connector identification during harness installation and helps engineers select the correct mating components when integrating the cable into an existing automotive Ethernet network.
Straight Through Pin Assignment
The cable maintains corresponding electrical connections between the two MATEnet connectors. Pin 1 is connected to Pin 1 through the white wire, while Pin 2 is connected to Pin 2 through the green wire. Both connector shells are connected through the designated ground path. This straightforward pin assignment provides a clear wiring reference for equipment integration and continuity inspection. The matching connector configuration at both ends also makes the cable suitable for direct interconnection between compatible host and peripheral interfaces without introducing a breakout or branching arrangement.
LEONI Ethernet Cable Construction
The assembly uses LEONI 1Gbps Ethernet Cable DACAR 647-4, selected for the specified automotive Ethernet connection. Its cable construction supports the two signal conductors and associated shielding arrangement required by the MATEnet interface. The cable has a nominal impedance of 100Ω and is specified for a frequency range from DC to 10GHz. Maintaining the intended cable construction and termination arrangement is important for preserving the electrical characteristics of the complete connection. This makes the cable suitable for applications requiring a defined automotive Ethernet interconnection between compatible electronic modules.
Termination Protection And Cable Routing
Each connector termination includes black double-wall heat shrink tubing with a specified outside diameter of 4.8mm and a length of 20mm. The heat shrink covers the cable exit area and provides additional insulation and mechanical coverage around the termination. The compact straight cable arrangement is available in 0.3m and 1m lengths, allowing customers to select a suitable option according to the distance between connected equipment. During installation, maintain appropriate cable routing clearance and avoid excessive bending or pulling forces near the connector exits.
