Single Pair Ethernet has a new face
Phoenix Contact drives the universal SPE standard forward. Finally no more uncertainty and competing standards! Whether IP20, M8, M12 or M12 Hybrid – with the standardized SPE pin connector pattern in accordance with IEC 63171-7 ED2 (in progress), you will soon be able to utilize all the advantages of the Single Pair Ethernet connection for your devices. Prepare for the next generation of industrial connection technology. In spring 2026, we started supplying SPE connectors in IP20 and M12 designs with a new, standardized pin connector pattern – interoperable, usable across manufacturers, and future-proof. Find out about the options for your applications.
We offer you the right SPE connectors for your application. Take advantage of the diversity of our connection technology for your Industry 4.0 application. SPE is the parallel, high-performance transmission of data and power via Ethernet over a single wire pair from the sensor to the cloud – supported by Power over Data Line (PoDL), Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), and OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA).
For single ports, as well as for IP20, M8, M12, and M12 HYBRID

For compact devices with high power transmission
M12 hybrid connectors for SPE are particularly suitable for actuator applications and allow for higher voltages and larger cross-sections combined with compact dimensions. Product specialist Verena Neuhaus explains these benefits and others in an interview.
Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is one of the megatrends in industrial data transmission. The purpose of SPE is not to define new higher transmission speeds or distances; but rather to form the framework for standardizing reduced amounts of cabling for applications.
