T1L Adapters for Building and Industrial Automation

T1L Technology Overview

T1L Ethernet uses single pair copper wires for data transmission versus traditional Ethernet which requires up to four pairs. 10BASE-T1L or IEEE 802.3cg, commonly referred to as T1L single pair Ethernet (SPE) is ideal for all types of building automation and industrial applications where IIoT edge devices may be located at longer distances from their control points.

T1L Ethernet eliminates cabling complexity and cost by leveraging existing infrastructure and eliminating repeaters, enabling enhanced data transmission and power distribution to support virtually any type or number of edge devices across myriad types of system management and control platforms.

T1L Benefits include:

Single-Pair Power and Data Connection
Extends Network Range up to 1000m+ without Repeaters
Seamless IIoT Integration
Industry Standard Protocol
Altronix Pace Supports Single, Daisy-chain, Star, and Dropoff Configurations

Leverage existing infrastructure: T1L can utilize existing single-pair cabling to transmit power and data over a single cable, eliminating the need to rip and re-place installed cabling, and significantly reducing installation costs and complexity

Long-distance connectivity: T1L extends Ethernet networks up to 1km/ 1,000m to connect edge devices across large facilities or located in remote areas

Point to Point or multi-point IIoT integration: Each edge devices can have a unique IP address, allowing for seamless integration with IT infrastructure, remote monitoring and management

Enhanced bandwidth: T1L supports high bandwidth edge devices, enabling the deployment of more advanced data collection edge devices, better system management and control, operational versatility and efficiency, and advanced analytics

Supports safe environments: T1L low voltage infrastructure is ideally suited for use in hazardous areas such as refineries, utility rooms and other areas that may house combustible material

Altronix Pace Product Portfolio

Altronix Pace SPE (Single Pair Ethernet) T1L media converter/adapters enable connection of 10Base-T1L, IEE802.3cg compliant Industrial IoT devices to an Ethernet network. Long distance headend to remote-end device cabling can be achieved to over 1km/ 1,000m /3,280’.

In addition to new SPE (UTP) Ethernet network installations, upgrading of legacy networks, i.e. LONworks, RS485, 4-20mA Control Loops, etc. can be achieved using the existing two wire cabling, thus saving rip and replace reinstallation costs.
