Single Pair Ethernet
Lapp expands portfolio for industrial communication
Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is a key technology on the way to the SmartFactory and Industry 4.0. It enables more consistent and economical Industrial Ethernet networks and only requires one wire pair to transmit data.
Up to now, 2- and 4-pair Ethernet cables have been the standard. This saving makes it possible to integrate new smart components into the network that were previously not networked via Industrial Ethernet. With the Etherline T1 product family, Lapp presented prototypes of single-pair Ethernet cables for use in industrial machines and systems at an early stage. The first single-pair Ethernet cable is now available from stock. In its spring launch, Lapp presents the new Etherline T1 Y Flex 1x2x22/7 AWG.
It is a UL-certified, two-core data cable for fast information exchange with consistently high data rates and a reduced structure. Due to its small bending radii and small outer diameter, it is particularly weight- and space-saving and easy to install.
The new Power-over-Data-Line-capable cable in accordance with IEEE 802.3bu was specially designed for transmitting digital signals in the frequency range up to 600 MHz and up to 40 m away. It enables the simultaneous power and data supply of SPE end devices with low energy requirements (up to 50 W). The design of the SPE cable guarantees protection against electromagnetic interference. It is double-shielded with an aluminum-laminated foil and copper braid shielding with a high degree of coverage (SF/UTP). In addition, the PVC outer sheath is resistant to acids and alkalis and conditionally oil-resistant. UL/CSA certification allows the product to be used in North America. As a UL-listed Power Limited Tray Cable (PLTC), the new single pair Ethernet cable can also be laid openly on cable trays.
