Guidelines for Ethernet Physical Layer on Military and Aerospace Vehicle Applications ARP7208

This ARP establishes guidelines for the use of IEEE-802.3 as a data bus network in military and aerospace vehicles. It encompasses the data cable and its connections for a system utilizing 10Base-T, 100Base-T, 1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T over copper medium dependent interfaces (MDI). This document contains extensions/restrictions to “off-the-shelf” IEEE-802.3 standards, and assumes that the reader already has a working knowledge of IEEE-802.3.
