Hirose and Harting collaborate over single-pair Ethernet

30 April 2019 Interconnection

Hirose Electric and the Harting Technology Group have entered into an agreement to jointly develop new standardised products and market a connection technology system for single-pair Ethernet (SPE).

The partnership was announced in 2016 when the companies jointly launched the ‘ix Industrial’ interface. This collaboration is now expanding to achieve an end-to-end infrastructure which consists of a component portfolio including connectors, sockets, cables and cable sets. Both companies are striving to successfully position the technology in standards committees.

Hirose and Harting are working closely with the standards committee for single-pair cabling and the components required on the device side, as well as the necessary transmission standards such as IEEE802.3 BASE-T1. It is expected that a complete infrastructure for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) based on Ethernet can be founded on this base.
