single Pair ethernet tech H
ARTING has been driving the creation of a Single Pair Ethernet standard for the Industrial
marketplace since 2015 along with other industrial companies and global standards bodies, such IEC and IEEE. Single Pair Ethernet communicates across
the common industrial Ethernet protocols available today (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, EtherCAT, etc.) but instead of using four or eight total wires, it accomplishes communication across just two wires, a single twisted pair. Also, it is utilising Power over Data Line (PoDL) technology to not only bring communication to the device, but also the voltage and amperage needed to power the device itself. This is hugely beneficial for three reasons.
What is the single Pair ethernet (sPe) connector - t1 industrial? First, space and number of connections are reduced on the device. Second, the need for an external power supply is eliminated. Finally, devices on the plant floor that have traditionally communicated over Fieldbus protocols can now join the same IP-based network that the rest of the devices on the network are using. This enables peer- to-peer communication, open-loop feedback of all devices, and smar t functionality all the way from the main control room down to the individual device. HARTING will contribute several
components to the Single Pair Ethernet Ecosystem, with the core product being
the T1 connector system. To be truly standard for industrial
applications, the T1 Industrial mating interface is designed to be the same and interoperable across all IP ratings. Its robust industrial design offers locking lever protection, 360° shielding, and high mating cycles. The T1 Industrial’s mating face is
standardised according to IEC 63171-6 (formerly IEC 61076-3-125) and, it meets IEEE 802.3 requirements for Single Pair Ethernet. The connector is ideal for the construction of future-proof and standardised Single Pair Ethernet communication networks with standardised cabling according to ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA 42.

he ODU-MAC RAPID modular connector with spindle locking has
successfully established itself on the market. Its practical, space- saving locking mechanism is based on a simple rotary movement and has proven especially popular in measuring and testing technology and other industrial applications. Now, in addition to the existing
version, this housing is also available in a smaller connector in size 2, and in black or white, with the white connector perfectly complementing the design of medical devices. Thanks to the two-part shell,
the ODU-MAC RAPID is quick and easy to assemble. Cable routing is simplified by the fact
that the housing remains open during cable assembly and can be re-opened later, meaning subsequent adjustments can be easily carried out, resulting in time savings of up to 50 per cent. Also, strain relief can be
created for each individual strand by attaching them on the optional grid plates, ensuring increased durability and stability. The cable outlet can be
adapted to suit the application and no special tools are required – it can simply be cut with a knife. This housing lets the user
create a flexible system, with a high degree of freedom and customisation, whilst also saving time.
