# Vehicle Network Interface Hardware: RAD-Gigastar
#### 1000BASE-T1 Active Tap, Gateway, Media Converter, Vehicle Interface & Data Logger
The RAD-Gigastar is the most versatile Automotive Ethernet network tap available. The RAD-Gigastar works as an active tap, media converter, vehicle interface, and Ethernet data logger.
The RAD-Gigastar can monitor one pair of 100/1000BASE-T1\* connections with an additional pair of SFP cages to support optical/ copper SFP transceivers. In addition, the RAD-Gigastar can also operate as a programmable gateway to create an Ethernet-to-Ethernet or a CAN-Ethernet gateway.
Overview of RAD-Gigastar
The RAD-Gigastar makes any standard Ethernet device, laptop, or data logger compatible with 100/1000BASE-T1. In addition to its Automotive Ethernet capabilities, it offers 6x ISO CAN FD channels, 2x FlexRay channels, and standalone operation capability.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.intrepidcs.com/vspy-3-documentation/vehicle-network-interface-hardware/vehicle-network-interface-hardware-rad-gigastar.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
