Why do OEMs like to specify Ethernet connectors? [Copy link]

Hello everyone!

I recently received quotes from several OEMs, and two of them specified Ethernet connectors, but did not specify other connectors. I would like to ask the experts in vehicle architecture, why do OEMs like to specify Ethernet connectors? What are the main considerations? Thank you!

1. Most of the time, they specify big brands.

2. To establish a cooperative relationship with a certain customer for mutual benefit

3The specified ones must have been verified by various tests

Anything else, please add,

Ethernet interfaces are cheap, have many common devices, are easy to purchase, upgrade, and maintain, and there is no need to purchase spare parts.

In the past 10 years, the stability and reliability of computer control have been greatly improved. It is generally recognized that the Ethernet protocol is "open", convenient, reliable and low-cost.

2 The specified ones can generally be perfectly connected with the current design interface of the vehicle

3Other speculations, such as the manufacturer is a subsidiary or shareholder, and now the OEM also wants to develop its own supply chain to ensure supply
