At the BICSI Fall Conference, SenTekse founder Chris DiMinico demonstrated a working Single Pair Ethernet system. DiMinico, whose roots in the structured cabling industry go back to Digital Equipment Corporation, has spent decades leading the development of new networking technologies. With his attention now focused on Single Pair Ethernet, DiMinico demonstrated the technology for us and discussed why it is a practical, cost-effective networking option for several environments.
In today’s fast-paced world, technology is constantly evolving to meet the demands of our interconnected society. One such advancement that is gaining significant attention is Single Pair Ethernet (SPE). This innovative technology is revolutionizing the way data is transmitted and is set to play a crucial role in the future of various industries.
Smart building devices need connection beyond today’s standards. Single Pair Ethernet provides that network connection with extended reach.
Single-pair Ethernet (SPE) is defined in IEEE 802.3 and adapts the basic Ethernet standard to use a single wire pair. Power over data line (PoDL) is sometimes referred to as power over Ethernet (PoE) adapted for SPE.
TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, has partnered with RealPars, the world’s largest online learning platform for cutting-edge industrial technologies, to offer an exclusive course on the fundamentals of Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) interconnect technology. The course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of SPE technology and its benefits, as well as an overview of the latest trends, challenges and opportunities in the field. SPE solutions can help reduce complexity and costs and enable operations to go beyond their current capabilities in supporting smart manufacturing

The transformation from traditional structures to smart buildings is reshaping the domain of facilities management. With a projection of 150%+ increase in the number of smart buildings worldwide, climbing from 45 million to 115 million in just five years, the impact of this shift is bound to be significant. Smart buildings provide a 360-degree view of a building’s operations, aiding in predictive maintenance, standards compliance, enhancing occupant experience and improving sustainability. However, the question remains: Are smart buildings a boon or a bane for facilities management?.
Manufacturers need to embrace edge computing in order to keep up with Industry 4.0. As technology continues to advance, manufacturers need fast and efficient solutions.
Microchip has introduced a range of industrial-grade Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) devices for IIoT and industrial Operational Technology (OT) networks for low-speed Ethernet edge devices and a simplified cabling infrastructure for latency-sensitive applications.
Applications are moving from older fieldbus-style networks to Ethernet, which is now widely regarded as a key enabling technology for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or “Industry 4.0.”
