Next Generation Ethernet

OMNIMATE® Single Pair Ethernet PCB terminals Product innovation

Easy and efficient two-wire SPE solutions for the PCB

In Industrial IoT and Industry 4.0, the new OMNIMATE® components transmit data using SPE via PCB terminals. SPE technology enables data and voltage to be transmitted via a copper wire pair, with a range of up to 1000 meters. This allows users to reliably connect field devices to the system. The system data is available in real time. The OMNIMATE® components come with various connections; whether screw connections, PUSH IN or SNAP IN.
