The new physical layer technology transforming communications for automation devices
Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is quite simply Ethernet transmission over a balanced pair of conductors. 10Mb/s SPE does some unique things that make it possible to bring Ethernet to the edge of OT networks. IEEE 802.3cg-2019™ standardizes SPE which is designed for 10Mb/s transmission speeds over a balanced pair of conductors. The IEEE standard defines two PHYs - 10BASE-T1L and 10BASE-T1S - which provide SPE communications.
Single Pair Ethernet is a transmission technology built and standardized by IEEE to replace built-for-purpose serial communications.
The new line of Panduit SPE products give customers long-distance reach, simple integration, fast and repeatable installation, and long-term reliability. The first products to market include a shielded connector and single pair cable. These products enable customers in a variety of markets to take advantage of the benefits of Single Pair Ethernet.
