can I connect this Single Pair Ethernet PHY http://www.ti.com/product/DP83TC811R-Q1 to a ESP32 chip? Do I miss something?
Does anyone already know a Switch for Single Pair Ethernet?
Looking forward to your input.

NO.
The DP83TC811R-Q1 is a PHY implementation, and it connects to a MAC implementation driven by an Ethernet controller. To support this chip on an ESP32 would require that you select a MAC chip and connect that to the PHY.....but beyond that you need an Ethernet controller to build the protocol packets to be serialized.
