The increasing level of digitalisation of industrial plants calls for the further development of existing Ethernet cabling. For sensors and local, modular control units in particular, conventional cabling concepts are no longer able to meet the new demands with regard to space requirements and installation effort.
Weidmüller and partners from the field of electrical connectivity all rely on the innovative Single Pair Ethernet technology when developing new industry standards.
Smallest compact design for implementing IIoT devices
High robustness for use in industrial environments
Easy to connect for safe, fast installation
Future-proof design through international standards
Instead of two or four pairs of wires, Single Pair Ethernet cabling requires just one pair of wires for the transmission of data and power. The simple design and the associated reduction in weight, space requirements and installation costs offer many advantages in an industrial environment. Single Pair Ethernet enables the end-to-end, economical connection of a large number of terminal devices in the Industrial IOT, from sensors in the field to the cloud.
Single Pair Ethernet - The great new technology for the industrial IoT. Our SPE expert Simon Seereiner explains why SPE is the topic for the industry of the future. Let him introduce you to the communication architecture of tomorrow.

SPE System Alliance - What's behind this concept?
Find out why Weidmüller is a founding member of the SPE System Alliance.
The SPE System Alliance is an association of leading technology companies from different industries and fields of application who bundle and exchange their expertise regarding Single Pair Ethernet. All partners pursue the common goal of promoting the SPE technology for the IIoT and every other field of application. Details and opportunities to contact the SPE System Alliance can be found on the website.
Discover the new, modular, hybrid system to build every kind of connector for data, signal and power - also ready for IIoT. The future-proof system is suitable for the highest requirements of the digital and connected world.
When developing new standards, the most important task is to establish a uniform and application-independent plug-in-connector face. Together with other manufacturers Weidmüller supports the currently submitted standardization variants according to IEC 63171-2 for IP20 and IEC 63171-5 for IP67.
