Single Pair Ethernet Delivers New Opportunities in Industrial Connectivity

Panduit presents Single Pair Ethernet solution at Rockwell Automation Fair 2020 

TINLEY PARK, Ill. — (November 10, 2020) — Panduit will be introducing a new line of Single Pair Ethernet connectivity at Rockwell Automation Fair 2020. Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is a newly standardized communication technology that extends 2- and 4- pair ethernet to devices for both industrial control and building automation. It provides an evolution in device connectivity by standardizing how devices can integrate into existing software platforms without gateways. This connectivity solution drives an extension of Ethernet security tools to the OT edge systems and provides revolutionary capability to integrate power and data into the same connectivity.  

The Panduit SPE solution will include connectivity for IP20 as well as IP67 applications, with a cable solution that delivers the full 1000-meter reach promised by the IEEE 802.3cg standard.  The SPE offering is focused on industrial reliability and simple field termination. This will ensure fast deployment, testability and simple reconfigurations while minimizing risk of polarity errors and physical layer debug issues. According to Lindsey Parker, Manager of Business Development at Panduit: “Panduit’s launch of Single Pair Ethernet connectivity provides the industry a place to start exploring the possibility of Ethernet convergence down to the last sensor.  We are really excited to be a part of this journey.” 

Experience the ability to deliver more than 50 watts of power to connected devices without in-panel power supplies. Jump at the chance to provide 10 times the distance of traditional ethernet on the plant floor. Join us at Rockwell Automation 2020 to check out the leading-edge SPE solution Panduit has to offer your automation networks! For more information about SPE, visit www.panduit.com/singlepairethernet.
