Phoenix Contact Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) Connectors

Phoenix Contact Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) Connectors offer parallel, high-performance data transmission and power via Ethernet through a single, double wire and power over a data line (PoDL). These connectors enable uniform, Ethernet-based communication from the sensor to the cloud and feature key technology for Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). This modern network technology makes consistent IP communication and power supply possible, even within complex industrial applications or IoT solutions. The series offers flexibility with ranges of up to 1000m and transmission properties of up to 1Gbps. The Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) connectors applications include building and industrial automation, robotics, the railway industry, and lighting.

The Single Pair Ethernet forms the basis for all Ethernet-based communication, utilizes leading fields of application, and enables smart device communication. Because of the transmission properties, even across long distances, the SPE series supports future-proof network communication. Following the trend of resource-conserving, miniaturized devices, SPE offers more space for electronics, thanks to space-saving cables.

Standardized pin connector patterns form the basis for the barrier-free networking of the most diverse components, cables, and connectors. The SPE connectors replace the classic serial bus system and use a multifunctional pin connector pattern from the office to the sensor.
