TC7 was created to work on optical multi-gigabit ethernet for automotive applications. The group’s objective is to create supplemental documentations for in-vehicle implementations such as connector interfaces, footprints, and test suites that are outside the scope of IEEE802.3cz.
TC7 handles all technical areas and requirements related to optical communications:
- Communication channel
- Connectors, optical cables, optical cable assemblies and wiring harnesses
- Measurement setup and procedures
- Opt-Electrical requirements
- EMC requirements
Seven subgroups were established corresponding to the above scopes and to promote their activities.
