The recent-ish 10base-t1 uses something called PLCA instead of CSMA/CD which doesn't require time synchronization, and gives each node in a subnet a dedicated transmission slot.


10Base-T1L is point to point, 10Base-T1S is multidrop, but very limited in nodes and how long the branches/stubs can be.

We'll see how it actually performs in field. Microchip seems to be in the T1S boat and TI+AD in T1L.
