Webinar: Single Pair Ethernet: One Protocol to Rule them All

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Standardization of OT and IT onto a single protocol is critical to driving widespread adoption of digital transformation. Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is viewed as the enabling technology that standardizes industrial control networks and digital buildings onto one Ethernet protocol. SPE provides the ability to operate a single, seamless network from cloud to edge and use new PoEvariants that power end devices over distances longer than traditional ethernet cabling. Join Panduit experts to discuss how SPE can impact future building automation system architectures, simplifying networks and providing greater access to the building system data that can drive efficiency and provide a more pleasant user experience through building technology.

The Emerging Role of Single-Pair Cabling in Enterprise Networks

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Single Pair Ethernet is a technology that will reduce the barriers to adoption of Ethernet for devices that need both power and limited communications, which often use various 2-wire fieldbus protocols. It operates over a single twisted pair while delivering the full Ethernet stack. Single Pair Ethernet is unique in that it can deliver data with up to 1km reach – and delivering up to 10mbps speeds at that distance, plenty of bandwidth for many devices used in building or industrial automation.

Autonomous smart buildings are the strategic chess pieces that form the foundation of our truly smart cities. We need to look at the complete city chessboard and its moving pieces and explore how our buildings fit into the smart city. We need to understand the cities’ climate emergency plan, city data plans, shared cybersecurity infrastructure, etc. We need to understand our next move while adding our buildings to the list of things amassing mobility data and determining how our rapidly evolving smart building data best fit into this movement.
