Webinar: How Single Pair Ethernet Streamlines Aircraft Networks

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Bandwidth-hungry electronics are increasing on aircraft as passengers and crews expect more from in-flight entertainment, cabin lighting, security and freight monitors, and other features. A significant amount of wiring and connectors is required to enable these capabilities, and designers need to implement smarter connectivity solutions without adding weight. This 60-minute Webinar explores how the adoption of Ethernet technology is evolving to support the SWaP and performance needs of modern aircraft cabin networks.

Webinar: The Emergence of a Utility LAN to the Connected Enterprise

By on • ( Leave a comment )

When we think of the Local Area Network (LAN), we typically think of devices that have traditionally been Ethernet-enabled – desktop computers, Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phones and more recently, wireless access points. What we are now seeing is the emergence of a uLAN, or Utility LAN. Like the traditional LAN, the uLAN is an interconnected set of devices that share data within the enterprise. But the uLAN is comprised of non-traditional Ethernet-enabled devices – lighting, HVAC, security, and AV systems – that are now being connected and powered by the IP network. The uLAN enables you to integrate systems to reduce installation and maintenance costs, and capture actionable analytics to further improve efficiency, and improve productivity and the overall user experience.

E-Book: Single Pair Ethernet explained easily

Download this free e-book from Harting to better understand the benefits of Single Pair Ethernet for IIoT. From the smallest sensor to the cloud: SPE enables the barrier-free transmission of data via Ethernet over just one pair of cables with up to 1 GBit/s and with ranges of up to 1000 meters, offering the ideal infrastructure for IIoT and Industry 4.0.SPE makes the field level smart. Devices, cables and connection technology become more powerful, smaller and more robust.

Selecting a Mission-Critical Category 6A System to Meet Increasing Network Demands

Picking the right category cable and connectivity for your specific application isn’t always as straightforward as it should be. Even if you know you need a Category 6A system, how do you wade through your choices and pick the right one? A lot of your questions can be answered by thinking about your application and the type of performance you need to keep technology up and running.

Single Pair Ethernet in Building Cabling

By on • ( Leave a comment )

The Single-Pair-Ethernet (SPE) concept comes from the automotive industry which required lean Ethernet cabling for vehicles. On the basis of xBASE-T1 protocols, SPE can also be used in building cabling and factory automation. SPE requires – as the name suggests – just a single twisted pair for data transmission. A thin two-core cable and a compact connector are sufficient for the cabling. In comparison to classic Ethernet cabling, the number of possible connection points is multiplied. The connection to the Local Area Network (LAN) takes place using switches either centrally in the floor distributor or distributed in the zone at the service outlets.

Ethernet: a key enabler in today’s hyper-connected world

By on • ( Leave a comment )

One of the most important elements to the success of the internet, even from its earliest days nearly 40 years ago, is Ethernet. Bob Metcalfe, known as the Father of Ethernet, came together with peers to invent and develop the Ethernet local-area network (LAN) technology and its system of packet protocols. Ethernet provides all the necessary specifications to ensure that everything interoperates with each other and it, therefore, ‘disappears’ from the radar of nearly everyone as a concern.

HARTING Americas announces launch of breakthrough Single Pair Ethernet technology

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Harting Americas has launched their Single Pair Ethernet technologies.SPE communicates across the common industrial Ethernet protocols available today but instead of using 4 or 8 total wires, it accomplishes communication across just two wires, a single twisted pair. It uses Power over Data Line technology to bring communication to the device along with the voltage and amperage needed to power the device. This is hugely beneficial for three reasons:. 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 smart functionality all the way from the main control room down to the individual device.
