To use existing optical MOST150 tools/devices in systems that are based on a coax electrical Physical Layer (cPHY), you can integrate our MOST150 C-O converters into the coaxial network. You can then connect the optical MOST150 tools/devices to the optical interface of the MOST150 C-O converter using the delivered optical MOST technology cable. The MOST150 C-O converter indicates whether power is connected and the MOST technology signal is detected.
Please note that our MOST150 C-O converters are not qualified for automotive applications. Typical use cases for our MOST150 C-O converters are validation, testing and verification in a controlled environment like a laboratory.
The duplex variant is for use in duplex cPHY networks. Because it contains one coax interface, it supports endpoint use cases, such as communication between one MOST150 coax duplex device and one MOST150 optical device/tool.
