SPE Connectors by AMPHENOL ICC
The Future of Industrial Ethernet
In the age of Industry 4.0, the focus is on digital networking. Single Pair Ethernet or SPE is an advanced and much simpler form of Ethernet connectivity and replaces the traditional co-axial twisted cable lines. AMPHENOL ICC offers a range of interconnect and cable assembly products, which support Power over Ethernet (PoE) or Power over Data Line (PoDL), so that remote devices can be powered through the same connection that carries the signals.
SPE narrows down the earlier two or four pairs of cables to just a single pair, saving space and enabling a comprehensive array of standardized communication protocols. SPE can rely on the existing architectures and extend connection up to 1000 meters with PoDL (Power over Data Link) capability guaranteeing maximum flexibility. The key support for next generation of automation technologies like IoT and Industry 4.0 is simplified with SPE.
Benefits of SPE Connectors
AMPHENOL ICC’s Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) connectors bring direct Ethernet connectivity to peripheral devices like sensors, actuators, and vision system cameras that operate at speeds up to 1Gb/s and deliver PoDL (Power over Data Link) up to 50W. SPE eliminates the need for costly and complex Fieldbus protocols and conversion gateways by simplifying and standardizing existing and new industrial network systems.
These IEC63171-6 compliant industrial Ethernet connectors are mechanically robust and feature secure latching with 360° shielding for excellent performance in harsh environments. Single pair cable reduces cost, weight and space requirements compared to two and four pair cabling. These connectors come with current handling up to 4A in right angle and vertical PCB mount versions. The SPE jacks mate to field terminable plugs, providing a complete shielded interface with metal latching features and easy installation. AMPHENOL ICC ’s SPE connectors are compatible with other SPE partner network products and can provide innovative flexible solutions for unique applications.
