Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) IP20 Connectors and Cable Assemblies

NEXT GENERATION IEC 63171-6 COMPLIANT INDUSTRIAL ETHERNET CONNECTORS

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) connectors for Industrial applications bring direct Ethernet connectivity to peripheral devices like sensors, actuators, and vision system cameras that operate at speeds up to 1Gb/s. SPE eliminates slow, expensive and complex fieldbus protocols and connections by simplifying and standardizing existing and new industrial network systems.

Robust right angle and vertical PCB mount SPE receptacle mate to field terminable plugs, providing a complete shielded interface with metal latching features. Current handling up to 4A supports PoDL (Power over Data Link) capability up to 1km.

  • Fully compatible with IEC 63171-6 interconnects from other authorized vendors ensuring future compatibility and investment security
  • Single pair cable reduces cost, weight and space requirements compared to 2 and 4 pair cabling
  • Mechanically robust and secure latching with 360° shielding for excellent performance in harsh environments
  • Field terminable IDC plugs provide installation flexibility
  • SPE eliminates the need for costly protocol conversion gateways
