SPE - One Wire Pair - An Infinite Number of Applications
Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) reduces data transmission to a single twisted pair of wires and enables data rates of up to 1 Gbit/s at distances of up to 1000 meters. It supports multidrop networks, power supply and hybrid installations via the same cable and reduces cabling costs. Depending on the application, existing infrastructure can continue to be used.
SPE offers uniform, Ethernet-based communication from the sensor to the cloud and is a key technology for Industry 4.0 and the IIoT. Advantages such as space, weight and cost savings make it ideal for industrial and commercial applications.
Future-proof solutions are based on the upcoming IEC 63171-7 ED2 standard, preparing networks for Industry 4.0 and IIoT requirements.
