Single Pair Ethernet

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) Single Pair Ethernet Single Pair Ethernet is a physical layer that brings both data and power via one twisted wire pair at an optimal cost to smaller, simpler, and harder to reach devices. There are many different SPE standards such as 10BASE-T1S that permit multidrop short reach applications of 25 meters... Continue reading

EtherNet/IP In-Cabinet

EtherNet/IP In-Cabinet EtherNet/IP In-Cabinet EtherNet/IP In-Cabinet utilizes 10BASE-T1S and a flat cable to connect contactors, push buttons, and motor starters to the Ethernet network. EtherNet/IP In-Cabinet enables reduced installation times via reduction in wiring that also provides sustainability benefits. Limitations including cost, available space, and power consumption have resulted in many edge devices remaining hardwired.... Continue reading
