Single Pair Ethernet Association - The perfect pair.
With the merger of the Single Pair Ethernet System Alliance and the SPE Industrial Partner Network, the Single Pair Ethernet Association has been formed. By joining forces, we are bringing together the expertise, activities and international strength of the SPE community under one roof – with one clear goal: to advance Single Pair Ethernet worldwide.
Our digital presence is coming together too: The website is currently being extensively updated and will soon relaunch in the new shared design of the Single Pair Ethernet Association.
One for all. All for one.
The Single Pair Ethernet System Alliance stands for the planning and future security of this new technology. The companies in the alliance contribute themselves and their experience. And they participate in the exchange of know-how between the different industries. Interesting for you?

Single Pair Ethernet in practice
A current case study from JUMO’s new SENSILO plant in Fulda shows how Single Pair Ethernet is already being successfully used in a real-world application today. The end-to-end SPE architecture for smart indoor climate monitoring demonstrates how simple, efficient, and future-ready modern connectivity solutions can be in practice.
“Huawei is convinced that new technologies can only be successfully developed through the global co-operation of many partners. We are therefore delighted to be able to make a contribution to the Single Pair Ethernet System Alliance.“
Dr. David Lou, Chief Researcher, 2012 Labs, Huawei Technologies
“Single Pair Ethernet is the ideal infrastructure for the IIOT. It offers barrier-free communication from the sensor to the cloud and can therefore realise enormous efficiency and cost-saving potential.”
Simon Seereiner, Business Development Manager Single Pair Ethernet
“For plant engineers, single pair Ethernet is a labor saver. Installation is simpler compared to four-pair Ethernet and allows a noticeable reduction in space and weight.”
Karola Tillack, Leader Division Device & Field Connectivity at Weidmüller
“Our cooperation in standardization creates security. Users around the world can build efficient network and cabling structures based on standardized interfaces, from the sensor through the control and enterprise levels to the cloud.”
Torsten Janwlecke, President Business Area Device Connectors at Phoenix Contact
“Compact design, miniaturized dimensions, a significant reduction in weight and the ease of connection also make SPE technology interesting for automation technology, building cabling, railroad technology and many other applications.”
Florian Gärtner, Managing Director Telegärtner Karl Gärtner GmbH
“Single Pair Ethernet opens up new fields of application for users in industrial networking: right down to the actuator and sensor level. The advantages lie in the standardized interface and the optimized structure of the SPE connection solutions.”
Folke Michelmann, Executive Vice President Business Area Medical & Industries at Rosenberger
