SPE Industrial Connectors IEC 63171

 

Rosenberger SPE Industrial connectors are 360Β° shielded differential connector systems for Single Pair Ethernet applications. The newly developed system successfully combines high performance data transmission, of up to 2.5 GHz with a compact and robust industrial housing.

In addition to ensure high data rates and enabling significant savings in space and weight, the connector system offers another key advantage: modularity. This allows the system to be flexibly adapted to various Ethernet applications and industrial protocols. 

Rosenberger SPE Industrial is well-suited for robotics, process and automation technology, as well as building automation.

The SPE connectors are based on international standards, particularly the IEC 63171, which defines a wide range of requirements and supports diverse industrial environments.
 


 

SPE Standards and Specifications: IEC 63171

SPE connectors are based on international standards, particularly the IEC 63171, which defines requirements for various environments and applications.

New: IEC 63171-7 ED2 (PNO Interface for SPE)

This standard extends the existing IEC 63171-7 and defines IP 20 and IP 67 SPE connectors in various form factors, indluding

  • Rectangular Connectors
  • M8
  • M12
  • Hybrid- and non-hybrid versions

IEC 63171-7 ED2 also serves as the foundation for the PNO standard.

Features

  • Standardized according IEC 63171-7 ED2
  • Frequency range DC up to 2.5 GHz
  • Mating cycles β‰₯ 750
  • IP 20 and IP 67 ratings
  • Suitable for STP, UTP and SPP cables
  • Small dimensions

 

 

 


 

IEC 63171-7 SPE Hybrid Connectors

This specification adds hybrid SPE connectors to the product portfolio. Hybrid SPE technology combines the advantages of Single Pair Ethernet data transmission with the efficient power supply of additional contact elements.

SPE Adaptors for Multidrop

The Single Pair Ethernet adaptors enable classic multidrop applications according in compliance with the IEEE standard for 10BASE-T1S (10BASE-T1M) standard and meet IP 20 and IP 67 industry requirements. Miniaturization is achieved by using a patented ferrite core. Multidrop technology allows multiple components to be connected with a single cable, reducing space requirements, simplifying cabling and optimizing resource utilization

Features

  • Support for Multidrop
  • For 10BASE-T1S applications
