Altronix Simplifies the Deployment of Building Automation with Pace™

T1L Media Converters/Switches Leverage Single Pair Ethernet Infrastructure to Network BACnet Compliant Systems

Brooklyn, New York (June 30, 2026) – Altronix, a global leader in power and networking solutions, now offers a comprehensive portfolio of Pace™ T1L Media Converters and Switches that support the communication of BACnet (Building Automation and Control Networks) compliant IIoT systems and devices. Pace T1L Series products accommodate Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) network installations, as well as LONworks, RS485, and 4-20mA Control Loops using new or existing two wire infrastructure. They eliminate the time and expense to rip and replace existing cabling for modern building automation applications.

“As the development and deployment of advanced building automation technologies continues to gain traction, organizations with legacy infrastructure are looking for practical solutions to cost-efficiently update their facilities,” said Stephen Oliva, Altronix Corporation. “Our portfolio of Pace T1L Media Converters and Switches allows facilities to transform legacy cabling into IP building automation infrastructure capable of long-distance runs.”

Pace T1L Media Converters and Switches enable connection of 10Base-T1L, IEEE 802.3cg compliant IIoT devices to an Ethernet network. Long distance power and data transmission can be achieved up to 1000m (3,280 ft) over SPE, significantly reducing installation cost and complexity. Pace T1L Series products are ideal for point-to-point and multi-point integration of various building automation devices with unique IP addresses, allowing for seamless integration with IT infrastructure, enhanced device security, remote monitoring, and management.

Benefits of Pace T1L Media Converters and Switches include: IIoT edge device support, enabling the deployment of more advanced data collection; better system management and control; operational versatility and efficiency; and advanced analytics. Additionally, Pace T1L Series products support safe environments by implementing low voltage infrastructure that is ideally suited for use in hazardous environments such as refineries, utility rooms and other areas that may house combustible material.
