Description / Abstract:
This series of SAE Recommended Practices was developed to
provide an open architecture system for on-board electronic
systems. It is the intention of these documents to allow electronic
devices to communicate with each other by providing a standard
architecture. This particular document describes the Network
Interface and Cabling which defines the requirements needed for
communicating between devices that are on different segments of the
SAE J2496 Transport Area Network. While these recommended practices
may be used in retrofitting older vehicles, the primary intent is
for implementation in new bus procurements
Rationale-This document has been reviewed by
the subcommittee to comply with the SAE 5-year Review Policy and
has been found to be non-current.
