Single-Pair Ethernet addresses industrial priorities, Part 2: Hardware realization
For applications driven by sensors more than high-speed data, the IEEE 802.3cg standard offers single-pair Ethernet connectivity with far lower cable costs and bulk. Part 1 looked at the context and standard which defines Single-Pair Ethernet and some of its variations, and how it fits into the IIoT application area. This part will look at […]
Single-Pair Ethernet addresses industrial priorities, Part 1: The IEEE 802.3cg Standard
For applications driven by sensors more than high-speed data, the IEEE 802.3cg standard offers single-pair Ethernet connectivity with far lower cable costs and bulk. Ethernet has come a very long way in adoption and speed from its humble inception driven in the early years by a team led by Robert Metcalfe at the Xerox Palo […]

Terminal block selection guide
Terminal blocks, often called connection terminals or screw terminals, provide secure wire-to-board or wire-to-wire connections in a range of end applications. While a relatively straightforward component by their very nature, terminal blocks still have a number of design considerations to take into account. Key mechanical specifications like the wire-entry orientation, wire-securing method, and module type […]
