Abstract: A system includes processing circuitry communicatively coupled to a coaxial cable as well as a sensor, such as a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor communicatively coupled to an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The processing circuitry and LIDAR sensor may be communicatively coupled to one another via a UTP-to-coaxial converter that is communicatively coupled to both the coaxial cable and the UTP cable. The UTP-to-coaxial converter includes filter circuitry configured to receive one or more signals generated by the LIDAR sensor and generate one or more filtered signals by blocking a portion of the one or more signals having a frequency in a first frequency range. The UTP-to-coaxial converter is configured to send the one or more filtered signals to the processing circuitry via the coaxial cable.
