Belden is a global leader in networking and digitalization solutions with a Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) portfolio of connectivity products to optimize Ethernet connectivity in harsh environments, including industrial and transportation.

As a designer and manufacturer of passive and active connectivity products, Belden is familiar with industry trends and the challenges most players face when implementing SPE. Belden is a member of the Industry Partner Network, whose goal is to cultivate the SPE ecosystem through a partner database while providing technical maturity benefits to meet the markets served by Belden.

Single Pair Ethernet is a radical and breakthrough technology with revolutionary, superior and compelling performance. It reduces the existing 8-wire CAT5e or CAT6 physical layers to 2-wire systems without compromising data communication performance. The transport market in particular welcomes the 30% weight reduction and the improved bending radius. This is future-proof and sustainable.

The SPE portfolio includes IP20-certified PCB sockets, patch cables and cable sets for cleanroom connections as well as IP65/IP67-certified round M8/M12 patch cables, cable sets and sockets for reliable Industrial Ethernet connections of field devices.

For industrial applications, the products create the basis for real-time communication between all devices in the network, the corporate backbone and the cloud to improve process efficiency and reduce operating costs.
