Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) IP67 Cables and Connectors

Amphenol Communications Solutions' single pair Ethernet (SPE) connectors for industrial applications bring direct Ethernet connectivity to peripheral devices like sensors, actuators, and vision system cameras that operate at speeds up to 1 Gb/s. SPE eliminates slow, expensive, and complex fieldbus protocols and connections by simplifying and standardizing both existing and new industrial network systems. The connectors are IP67-rated with an M12 size circular form factor. They feature robust right-angle and vertical PCB mounts and solder cup SPE jacks mate to field terminable plugs, providing a complete shielded interface with latching features. Current handling up to 4 A supports power over data link (PoDL) capability up to 1 km.

Features

• Fully compatible with IEC 63171-6 interconnects from other authorized vendors, ensuring future compatibility and investment security
• Single pair cable reduces cost, weight, and space requirements compared to 2- and 4-pair cabling
• Mechanically robust and secure latching with 360° shielding for excellent performance in harsh environments
• Field-terminable IDC plugs provide installation flexibility
• IP67 sealing protects against water ingress, including full immersion in mated conditions
• High-strength plastic plug housing and coupling mechanism reduce weight and cost
