SPE campaign opens curtain on new dawn of Ethernet connectivity
element14 has assembled an elite group of industry leading suppliers to support a campaign to highlight the multiple advantages of Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) solutions.
The campaign, adopted by Amphenol, ADI, Harting, Microchip, Molex, Phoenix, Weidmuller and Wurth Electronik, is designed to inspire IIoT developers and industrial designers to switch to SPE products and protocols, to not only foster innovation but to also make their professional lives easier, more productive and produce more reliable results.
Ben Morgan, Product Segment Leader for SPE Connectors at element14 said, “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.”
Among the many benefits of SPE is that it vastly reduces the need to allow for bulky and intricate bundles that waste valuable installation real estate space. Using SPE products for such installations streamlines a network and reduces costs, enabling professional developers to focus on maximising the power of connected devices to their fullest potential.
SPE does this by simplifying the IIoT and industrial automation design process by providing a single, high-speed connection that’s perfect for Edge devices, especially those that are often destined for tight, compromised spaces. SPE has proven to be sleek, elegant and reliable solutions that ensure devices are always connected, and always performing at their best.
Morgan added, “We are delighted to be joined by so many of key supplier 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.”
SPE products from Amphenol, ADI, Harting, Microchip, Molex, Phoenix, Weidmuller and Wurth Electronik will be available from Farnell in EMEA, Newark in North America and element14 in APAC.
