M12 connectors for Single Pair Ethernet

The new M12-size SPE connectors from Phoenix Contact provide identical mechanical installation conditions and easy integration into conventional sensors.

Male and female versions also enable flying leads. The single-pair data cabling transmits data at speeds of up to 1 Gbps and powers of up to 60 W over a range of up to 1,000 m.

In addition to IP67 degree of protection, the connectors also feature a reliable shield connection with Advanced Shielding Technology. This enables secure Ethernet communication from the field right through to the cloud.

The standardised interfaces in accordance with IEC 63171-5 make them particularly suitable for efficient and consistent data transmission in factory and building automation applications.
