Efficient connection technology: Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is a powerful technology for realizing Industry 4.0 and IIoT applications. Simple and failsafe connections are crucial, particularly when integrating field devices into the Ethernet network. This is where COMBICON PCB terminal blocks for Single Pair Ethernet show their strengths with clear color coding.
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.
