Continuous data transmission finally goes the distance
Use compact device connectors and cable connectors in the ONEPAIR series for Single Pair Ethernet. The standardized SPE interfaces are ideal for efficient data transmission in factory, process, and building automation applications. The application-specific, reduced cabling is therefore the basis for future-proof Ethernet communication from the field to the cloud.
Future-proof: standardized connectors and cables in accordance with IEC 63171-2 (IP20), IEC 63171-5 (IP67), and IEC 63171-7
Cross-application: range of up to 1,000 m, data rates of up to 1 Gbps, and power of up to 50 W and more
Efficiently cabled: plug-and-play, even in existing cabling infrastructures
Compact: high packing density on the PCB and thus smaller device designs due to miniaturized connectors
Easily integrated: male and female versions for established inductive sensors and flying leads

New: ONEPAIR series M12 hybrid connectors
Unleash IIoT performance in your devices
More power in one connector: the SPE M12 hybrid connector combines data and power for Single Pair Ethernet. With two circuits of 2 x 8 A and up to 63 V, transmission speeds into the Gigabit range are possible.
Rethink your power connection for Single Pair Ethernet: The compact data element has maximized power transmission with just two contacts for SPE, creating entirely new possibilities. In the past, larger connectors or two connectors for data and power were required to achieve this. With this new development, you are now provided more flexibility in a smaller installation space and higher-performance power transmission.
