Media Converter and Connectors
OPTIMAL CONNECTIVITY provides Single Pair Ethernet SPE media converters.
The SPE media converter connects 1000BASE-T1 with 1000BASE-T networks as well as 100BASE-T1 with 100BASE-TX networks. A single pair of twisted copper wire can cover a distance of up to 6’000m at a maximum data rate of 18 Mbps.
It supports 802.3bp auto-negotiation or alternatively a proprietary master/slave negotiation protocol. Master/slave role, speed and auto-negotiation can be set individually.
The SPE media converter can be powered up by either a dedicated power connector or via USB port.
The T1 connection comes with an IEC 63171-6 compliant connector face from HARTING and features an inductive front-end with additional ESD protection.
The housing offers extra grounding either via the power connector screen or via a grounding stub.
HARTING T1 Industrial Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) products feature a highly optimized, high-frequency design, shielding, and high mechanical robustness, making them an ideal choice to fulfill industrial SPE demands.
SPE T1 products enable Ethernet data transmissions by using only two wires (TW1STER) and the simultaneous power supply for terminals via a Power over Data Line (PoDL). SPE offers barrier-free connections for equipment, sensors/actuator technology, and more by using end-to-end, IP-based communications to edge devices down to the field level. This makes the field-level smart and simplifies the parameter setting, initialization, and programming.
The set-up, operation, and maintenance of equipment become more efficient and more cost-effective. The complete wiring is simpler and also considerably faster to install.
HARTING T1 Industrial Single-Pair Ethernet Products offer end-to-end compatibility of devices, cables, and connectors at Ethernet speeds between 1.5Mbit/s and 18Mbit/s on a cable lengths of up to 100m, 400m and 6000+m.
HARTING SPE products provide a 60VDC voltage rating, 1000 mating cycles with IP20 protection rating, and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
The T1 SPE products are well-suited for a variety of applications, including remote IP cameras, edge computing, edge sensors, oil & gas, agricultural, automation, robotics, machinery, and transportation.
