TE Connectivity’s (TE) Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) M8 Hybrid Solution Now in Stock at Heilind Electronics

Using only one pair of copper wires, the M8 Hybrid solution provides data transfer and power over ethernet in a compact package

WILMINGTON, Mass., November 3, 2022 Heilind Electronics, a leading global distributor of electronic components and authorized distributor for TE, now offers the Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) M8 hybrid as part of its full line of TE Connectivity connectors.

Designed for even the most demanding IoT and networking tasks, TE’s SPE provides a single, open, scalable Ethernet-based network within an automation system. In the past, multiple wires for fast 100 Mbps ethernet and even more wires for Gbps ethernet were required. Now with SPE, only two wires are needed for data and power. PoDL, power over data line, significantly reduces complexity, costs and the number of connectors needed.

The M8 hybrid scalable solution provides power transmission over a separate wire, with data transmission speeds up to 1Gb/s and power delivery up to 400W. At 1000m, the TE M8 hybrid cordset can reach speeds of 10Mb/s.

This dual data and power solution creates more flexibility for powering devices, while no special circuitry is required.

Applications of the SPE M8 hybrid include industrial automation, sensor/actuator networks, robotics, machinery and more.
