Farnell has joined forces with a group of suppliers to launch a campaign highlighting the numerous benefits of Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) solutions.
This initiative, supported by Amphenol, ADI, Harting, Microchip, Molex, Phoenix, Weidmuller, and Wurth Elektronik, aims to inspire IIoT developers and industrial designers to adopt SPE products and protocols. The goal is to foster innovation, simplify professional tasks, enhance productivity, and ensure more reliable outcomes.
“We firmly believe that the future of industrial network connectivity lies with Single Pair Ethernet. IoT design engineers fully understand the current struggle of balancing space limitations with increasing data demands, however SPE is a compact, efficient technology that delivers full Ethernet performance with a single, twisted-pair cable,” said Ben Morgan, Product Segment Leader for SPE Connectors at Farnell.
One of the primary advantages of SPE is its ability to significantly reduce the need for bulky, complex cable bundles that consume valuable installation space. Implementing SPE products streamlines networks and reduces costs, allowing developers to maximise the potential of connected devices.
SPE simplifies the IIoT and industrial automation design process by offering a single, high-speed connection ideal for Edge devices, particularly those destined for confined spaces. SPE is a sleek, elegant, and reliable solution that ensures devices remain connected and perform optimally.
“We are delighted to be joined by so many of key suppliers in this initiative, which we think heralds a new dawn in what is achievable in network connectivity, which comes at a crucial moment to meet the demands of an increasingly interconnected world,” added Morgan.
