Features & Benefits
- Single piece connector – no mating half connector required to connect two boards together which means:
- Improved performances in one single twisted pair wires (vs RJ45 4-pairs)
- Smaller form factor
- Simplified networks, eliminates gateways
- New industry standard according to IEC 63171-6
- Operating temperature up to 85 °C (Target 125 °C)
Typical Applications
- Robotics
- Automation
- Sensor & Actuator Networks
- Control & Monitoring Cameras
- Smart Grid
- Traffic Control
- Transportation Smart Monitoring
As the Industrial Ethernet market continues to grow, the market continues to look for smaller and faster connectors to fit their needs. In turn, this has driven single pair Ethernet to the forefront of discussion. Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) describes the transmission of Etheret over only one pair of twisted copper wires. In addition to data transmission via Ethernet, SPE also enables a simultaneous power supply of terminal devices via PoDL – Power over Data Line. Previously, this required two pairs for Fast Ethernet (100MB) and four pairs for Gigabit Ethernet.
In addition to space and weight savings with less wire, SPE transmits 1 GBit/s only up to a distance of 40 meters. KYOCERA AVX is a part of the SPE Industrial Partner Network and will offer SPE products to meet the customer and market needs while meeting the standards according to IEC 63171-6 and IEEE 802.3 etc.
