Ethernet Infrastructure for Industrial Applications
Explore how Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) helps enable scalable, field-to-cloud connectivity through a single, open Ethernet-based network.
Explore the Potential of SPE
Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) helps enable more efficient, scalable, and streamlined industrial networks through a single, open Ethernet-based architecture. By transmitting both data and power over a single pair of wires using power over data line (PoDL), SPE helps reduce cabling complexity compared with traditional 100 Mbps and Gigabit Ethernet systems that require multiple wire pairs. The result is simplified network design, lower infrastructure costs, and greater flexibility for connected automation. TE's industrial SPE solutions help manufacturers meet growing demands for high-speed data transmission, power delivery, and seamless connectivity across modern automation systems.
