Single Pair Ethernet (SPE)teeth, 1 This technology enables simultaneous communication and power supply using a pair of signal lines.
Conventional Ethernet (RJ45/CAT5e etc. 2 Pair or 4 In contrast to using pairs, SPE teeth 1 Because each pair is self-contained, it leads to resource conservation in cables and space savings in connectors.
This document contains, SPE From the basics 100BASE-T1 This includes technical details, comparisons of various communication and power supply standards, benefits in industrial fields, and evaluation equipment and devices that can be used for implementation considerations.
I've compiled it all into one book. This is a recommended resource for those who "don't know where to start with evaluation." (Download the document)
Use cases for Single Pair Ethernet (SPE)
[Examples of major companies using our services]
Automobile manufacturers, automotive parts manufacturers, industrial equipment manufacturers, robot manufacturers, FA equipment manufacturers, embedded device development companies
| • We want to reduce the wiring space and cable weight within the device. |
| • We are having trouble with wiring to movable parts such as the robot's arm. |
| • The increasing number of gateways between fieldbus and IP networks is making the system more complex. |
| • I'm interested in SPE, but I don't understand the differences between 10BASE-T1S/L, 100BASE-T1, and 1000BASE-T1, or how to use them appropriately. |
| • We want to start evaluating SPEs, but we haven't been able to get started because we don't have an easy-to-use evaluation environment. |

FAQ
【Q】 What is Single Pair Ethernet (SPE)?
[A] Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is an Ethernet technology that uses a single pair of cables for communication. Because it enables reduced wiring and lighter weight, it is attracting attention for industrial applications such as robots and manufacturing equipment. This document explains everything from the basics of SPE to its applications in industrial settings.
【Q】 What are SPEs used for?
[A] It is used in automobiles, AGVs, industrial robots, manufacturing equipment, FA equipment, sensor and camera connections, etc.
[Q] What is the difference between 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1?
[A] Both are Single Pair Ethernet communication standards, but they differ in communication speed and intended use. This document explains their features and points to consider when selecting between them.
[Q] How do you set up the evaluation environment for SPE?
[A] When implementing SPE, a communication evaluation environment is built using 100BASE-T1/1000BASE-T1 compatible equipment and media converters. This document explains examples of evaluation environment configurations and points to consider when selecting equipment.
