Device and cable connectors for Single Pair Ethernet
Cable and device connectors for Single Pair Ethernet
Standardized cables and device connectors for Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) really come into their own wherever sensors and actuators are implemented in a confined space, and must also be easy to maintain. SPE is the ideal solution for a compact and efficient interface – for office environments and more. The communication protocol for data cabling inside the building uses Single Pair Ethernet to cover the last few meters between the controller and the sensor. Application-specific, optimized cabling is therefore the basis for future-proof networking from the device to the cloud. It allows consistently intelligent and scalable application networking on all levels.
