Ep. 64 | Single Pair Ethernet (SPE): Real-World Applications, Standards & Testing

With the continued growth of IoT devices, intelligent building networks are facing increasing bandwidth demands. Cameras, lighting systems, sensors, and building controls all require reliable connectivity, creating a growing need to reduce congestion on primary network infrastructure. Single Pair Ethernet (SPE), initially developed for automotive and industrial applications, is now emerging as an effective solution for intelligent building infrastructure. By enabling Ethernet communication over a single twisted pair, SPE offers new opportunities to connect low-bandwidth devices while simplifying network architecture. Join Tech Talk with Steve and special guest Chris DiMinco, Co-Founder of SenTekse LLC and President/CTO of PHY-SI LLC, for an insightful discussion on SPE technologies, deployment strategies, real-world applications, and testing. In this session, you'll learn about: The history and evolution of Single Pair Ethernet (SPE). Applicable SPE cabling, testing, and networking standards. SPE network topologies and power delivery options. Real-world applications and intelligent building case studies. Strategies for deploying SPE, even when most end devices do not have native SPE interfaces. Practical considerations for integrating SPE into existing ICT infrastructure. A live demonstration of Single Pair Ethernet cabling testing. Earn 1 BICSI CEC Credit! Whether you're a network engineer, cabling professional, building automation specialist, or ICT infrastructure designer, this session will help you understand how SPE can support the next generation of intelligent buildings.
