WATERTOWN, Conn., Oct. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemon, a
leading global network infrastructure specialist, is pleased to
announce an industry leadership position in the development and
education of emerging single-pair Ethernet applications with
Valerie Maguire, Global Sales
Engineer, acting as Chief Editor for the IEEE single-pair Ethernet
amendment, Brian Celella, Principle
Electrical Engineer, co-editing the developing ISO/IEC 11801-1
amendment defining single-pair cabling performance requirements,
and the release of a new white paper entitled, "The Emerging Role
of Single-Pair Cabling in Enterprise Networks."
IEEE P802.3cg, "Physical Layer Specifications and Management
Parameters for 10 Mb/s Operation and Associated Power Delivery over
a Single Balanced Pair of Conductors" addresses the emerging
application commonly referred to as single-pair or BASE-T1
Ethernet. This game-changing application is positioned to fill the
gap in industrial automation and other low-speed connections with
non-proprietary cabling, while also providing a path for them to
merge with the Internet of Things (IoT). Single-pair Ethernet will
offer several advantages, including reduced cost, operation over
distances greater than 100 meters, delivery of dc power, and
potential compatibility with traditional four-pair network cables
and connectivity, making it an attractive alternative to
traditional fieldbus communication protocols.
In response to this emerging technology, both TIA and ISO/IEC
standards organizations are developing single balanced twisted-pair
cabling specifications, and both recently selected the single-pair
connector form factor specified in IEC 63171-1 based on the LC
optical fiber form factor for use in enterprise and intelligent
building commercial environments and the ruggedized form factor
specified in IEC 60176-3-125 for use in light and heavy industrial
environments.
"The real story is that international harmonization of both a
commercial and a ruggedized interface by TIA and ISO/IEC paves the
way toward broad market acceptance of single-pair Ethernet as the
media of choice for rapidly evolving BAS and IoT applications,"
says Mike Boisseau, Copper Business
Unit Leader for Siemon. "Siemon is pleased to support Brian's
contribution to the development of the ISO/IEC amendment and
Valerie's leadership position on the IEEE P802.3cg Task Force, and
we are committed to being active contributors to ongoing TIA and
ISO/IEC initiatives aimed to develop the cabling specifications
that will support single-pair Ethernet."
The key technology under development by the P802.3cg Task Force
for enterprise applications is 10BASE-T1L, which has the objective
of supporting 10 Mb/s Ethernet over long reach single balanced
twisted-pair cabling up to at least 1000m. Current projections have the P802.3cg
amendment targeted for publication approval at the end of 2019.
To educate the industry about single-pair Ethernet
standardization efforts and the potential of this emerging
applications, Siemon has also released a new white paper authored
by Valerie Maguire and entitled,
"The Emerging Role of Single-Pair Cabling in Enterprise Networks."
