Phoenix Contact has launched compact device and cable connectors for the Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) standard. The standardized SPE interfaces are ideally suited for efficient data transmission in factory and process automation.
Single Pair Ethernet delivers parallel, high-performance transmission of data and power via Ethernet over a single wire pair through Power over Data Line (PoDL). Connectors for Single Pair Ethernet reduce the cabling of various components and are the foundation for future-proof Ethernet communication from the sensor to the cloud.
Connectors for Single Pair Ethernet: Ideal for efficient data transmission
IP20 connectors for Single Pair Ethernet
IP20 connectors and patch cables for Single Pair Ethernet enable efficient data transmission in numerous fields and industries – for example, in factory and building automation.
M8 connectors for Single Pair Ethernet
M8 device connectors transmit data and power in one wire pair quickly and reliably from the OT level to the IT level.
Applications
Single Pair Ethernet forms the basis for all Ethernet-based communication. It opens up new applications and enables smart device communication. Due to its great transmission properties, even across longer distances, SPE supports future-proof network communication optimally. Ideal applications include:
• Building automation
• Industrial automation
• Robotics
• Railway industry
• Lighting
