The unmanaged Switch 10Base-T1L SPE from Weidmüller is a groundbreaking solution for industrial applications that require simultaneous transmission of data and power. It addresses the challenge of data transfer and power supply in such environments, providing a reliable and efficient solution.
The 10Base-T1L-SPE switch from Weidmüller ensures reliable data transmission over distances of up to one kilometer, surpassing the limited range of traditional RJ45-based Ethernet, which is only capable of reaching 100 meters. Additionally, this switch offers significantly higher performance with a bandwidth of 10 Mbps compared to the RS485 standard. Consequently, the 10Base-T1L-SPE switch provides a dependable and high-performance network connection for industrial devices such as sensors.
One outstanding feature of the 10Base-T1L-SPE Switch is its support for Power over Data Line (PoDL) up to Class 15, allowing for power delivery of up to 50 watts at the end device. This simplifies the setup of power supply for new devices with features like SCCP and Forcemode.
The SPE technology is especially advantageous in environments with limited space as it allows for both data and power transmission through a single pair of wires. This eliminates the need for multiple cables and enables a cost-effective sensor connection in various industrial scenarios, without the expense of using fiber optic technology.
The Quality-of-Service (QoS) functionality of the 10Base-T1L-SPE switch enables efficient resource allocation in the network and prioritizes critical applications. This ensures PROFINET Class A compliance and seamless integration into PROFINET-compatible networks.
The 10Base-T1L-SPE unmanaged switch by Weidmüller effectively addresses the challenges of data transmission and power supply in a cost-effective and space-saving manner. It provides a viable alternative to fiber optic technology, making it a versatile solution for various industrial applications.
Weidmüller also offers a comprehensive range of Single-Pair-Ethernet components, including on-site assembly connectors and ready-made patch cables. The device connection technology is available in IP20 and IP67 protection classes.
Overall, the new unmanaged switch from Weidmüller provides a powerful and cost-effective solution for IoT applications that require reliable data transmission and simultaneous power supply. With the use of SPE technology, it enables efficient network connectivity and serves as an alternative to expensive fiber optic technology.
