Single Pair Ethernet

TE’s SPE connectivity solutions help you bring better transparency to your industrial Ethernet infrastructure.

 Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) provides a single open, scalable Ethernet-based network within an automation system. In the past, multiple wires for fast 100 Mbps industrial ethernet and even more wires for Gbps ethernet were required. Now with SPE, only two wires are needed for data and power (PoDL or power over data line). This significantly reduces complexity and costs and enables you to go beyond existing borders. Single Pair Ethernet is revolutionizing data transmission and connectivity, and TE Connectivity (TE) is leading the way. Learn how the latest industrial Single Pair Ethernet solutions from TE meet your needs for greater power and high-speed data transmission.
