Power over Ethernet Pushes Forward

On March 11, 2021 in All, Automation, Computing, Connectors, Dev Tools, IoT, Power, Security, Sensors by Jon Gabay

Wired Ethernet provides a more secure connection and will not bog down wireless networks for data hogs like high-definition streaming video. 802.3bt now adds up to 90W of power over Ethernet to each device, eliminating the need to run power. Self-power sensors and IoT devices can now thrive.

Test Kits Speed SPE Automotive Designs

On December 31, 2020 in All, Automotive, Connectors by Rick Nelson

Automakers are moving to zonal service-oriented architectures in which a high-performance engine-control unit communicates via single-pair Ethernet to multiple sensors and actuators. Two test kits help designers evaluate connector technology as they adapt SPE for automotive system designs.

How Single Pair Ethernet Is Becoming the DNA of IIoT

On September 11, 2020 in All, Computing, Industrial, IoT by Verena Neuhaus

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is quickly becoming a mega-trend in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Here, we explore SPE, its advantages, how it is transforming industrial data transmission, and how SPE supports the future of industrial network technology.

Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) Bolsters Industrial Control

On June 7, 2019 in All, Automation, Industrial, IoT by Sravani Bhattacharjee

Time-sensitive networking (TSN) is a new connectivity technology that extends the promise of Industrial IoT to time-sensitive industrial control and actuation systems. This blog provides an in-depth understanding of TSN principles and functionalities to design next-generation Ethernet products.

At 90W, Power over Ethernet Hits the Sweet Spot

On April 1, 2019 in All, Industrial, IoT, Power, Sensors by Barry Manz

Three Things You Should Know About Ethernet PHY

On January 13, 2016 in All by Garrett Yamasaki

The evolution of Ethernet is fascinating. More than 40 years ago, Robert Metcalfe was asked to create a local area network (LAN) for the storied Palo Alto Research Center. The result of Metcalfe’s innovative work would be standardized as Ethernet – an adaptive technology that would forever revolutionize the world of communications. Fast-forward to modern society, and Ethernet is everywhere.
