Single Pair Ethernet Moves Building, Industrial Systems from Fieldbus to Ethernet

Forward-looking options support Fieldbus today; transition to Ethernet in the future

Tinley Park, Ill., May 19, 2022 – Panduit Corp., a leading global provider of network infrastructure solutions, has released a new line of Single Pair Ethernet cables to support building automation and industrial automation technologies. The cables, which are available globally, can support Fieldbus controls today, but transition to Ethernet in the future.

In conjunction with the cable introduction, Panduit and Fluke Networks have released a new white paper, Evolving Building and Industrial Fieldbus to a Unified Ethernet Infrastructure. This peer-reviewed paper examines common Fieldbus applications for building automation and industrial automation and shows how they can transition to Single Pair Ethernet in the future.

“Single Pair Ethernet infrastructure is gaining traction as a viable alternative for connecting systems within smart buildings and industrial automation,” said Tom Walsh, Vice President of Panduit Enterprise Business. “As building owners and manufacturers look to the future, the option to install Single Pair Ethernet infrastructure that will work for both existing analog, serial, and legacy applications and future unified Ethernet networks is exciting and shows promising results.”
