Industrial 10BASE-T1L SPE to 10/100BASE-TX Media Converter
Bridging Single Pair Ethernet to Standard Industrial Networks
PLANET SPE-1SP1T / SPE-1SP1T-TB is a 1-Port 10BASE-T1L to 1-Port 10/100BASE-TX Single Pair Ethernet Media Converter, designed to bridge industrial 10BASE-T1L (IEEE 802.3cg) networks with standard Ethernet infrastructure. As Industry 4.0 drives the need for extending Ethernet connectivity to the edge of the factory floor — down to individual sensors and actuators — Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) has emerged as the ideal solution, using just one twisted pair to carry Ethernet signals over distances up to 1,000 meters, far exceeding the reach of conventional Ethernet cabling (100 meters).
Sharing the same compact form factor, the SPE-1SP1T and SPE-1SP1T-TB differ only in their 10BASE-T1L connector type: the SPE-1SP1T features an IP-20 IEC 63171-2 industrial SPE connector, while the SPE-1SP1T-TB is equipped with a 3-Pin terminal block interface for direct wiring, making it ideal for industrial control panels and cabinets. The SPE-1SP1T and SPE-1SP1T-TB allow existing switches, PLCs, and industrial computers to connect to SPE-based field devices without any network architecture changes, significantly reducing cabling costs and complexity while accelerating IIoT deployment.
