Webinar – Single Pair Ethernet — Simplified Sensor-to-Cloud Networking

Now’s the perfect time to deepen your SPE expertise and turn it into practical value in your daily engineering, design, or integration work. Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) has reshaped industrial connectivity by bringing balanced pair native Ethernet to the field level. With Power over Data Line (PoDL), SPE can deliver both data and power through a single cable, dramatically simplifying machine design.

SPE is quickly becoming a foundational technology for optimization and innovation across industrial automation. With this in mind, Weidmüller is lending three experts to guide the discussion of advanced SPE. Simon Seereiner, Business Development Manager SPE, Basma Ahmed, Product Manager- Industrial Ethernet, and PJ Ochoa, Product Manager, Industrial Ethernet will demonstrate how lean architecture, fewer gateways, and seamless, secure communication between OT devices and IT systems.

What You’ll Learn in This Webinar

The Business Case for SPE

• Why SPE matters: Understand how SPE supports the needs of modern, data-driven factories.
• True end‑to‑end Ethernet: See how sensors, actuators, drives, robots, conveyors, and modular machine cells interconnect via Ethernet—without the burden of legacy fieldbus layers.
• Standards and ecosystem clarity: Get a guided tour of the rapidly expanding SPE standards landscape so you can confidently choose components and start building.

The Technical Case for SPE

• SPE fundamentals: Learn how SPE and PoDL simplify wiring, deployment, and modular machine design.
• IT/OT convergence: Discover how SPE strengthens security, enhances diagnostics, and improves device lifecycle serviceability.
• Compliance essentials: Understand requirements for the physical layer, connectors, and cabling, plus what’s coming next.
• Available components: Explore current options including PHYs, controllers, switches, connectors, cables, and development kits—and how to select them for real factory environments.

By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear understanding of both the strategic value and technical foundations of Single Pair Ethernet—so you can start applying SPE to your next innovation or system upgrade.
