A Blog on Harting T1 Single Pair Ethernet

As we hurtle towards the future with the “Internet of Everything” (IOE) manufacturers are rushing towards new and innovative ways of introducing networking technologies into devices.  Harting Ltd may well have just edged forwards in the race for connector dominance with their Single Pair Ethernet –T1 Connector Solution.

According to Harting “the little giant Tw1ster brings data and power on one pair of wires to previously unattainable locations, thus challenging existing bus systems. HARTING relies on an alliance of research, industry and standardisation for single pair Ethernet.

As part of this alliance, international standardisation committees have completed a multi-stage selection process in favour of the HARTING Technology Group’s SPE mating face.

This also ensures planning security for the designers of new devices or sensor/actuator technology, permitting them to actively commence the implementation of SPE in the respective device technology”.

What does this mean? 

Well this means Harting have found a way to introduce Ethernet using a single pair system with traditional M8 and M12 Connector footprints making the transition easy for device manufacturers to adopt.

How is this helpful?

By using pre-existing connector shapes it is easy for manufacturers to adopt without having to re-design produce as these are a drop-in replacement for other signal connectors.

What’s more this innovative connector only need a single pair to deliver fast Ethernet.  This will pave the way for a whole raft of produces to be connected to the internet and become part of our IOE world.

Watch out for these as they will be part of the future of internet connectivity.  This could be the beginning of the end for traditional RJ connectors as technology finds ways of delivering fast ethernet in a simple effective way.
