Media converters reimagined – connecting sensors, actuators and systems over long distances via IP Discover the future of network connectivity with Single Pair Ethernet
Used as an adapter in industrial settings, in test systems and in development work

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is a groundbreaking technology that is revolutionising the way we build and operate networks. A single pair of wires is used simultaneously for data transmission and to power the module. With simple installation and minimal costs, SPE enables end-to-end IP-based communication (e.g. TCP/IP) from sensors and actuators at the field level, across control levels, right up to the cloud – without the need for any protocol converters.
SPE networks can be connected via Windows, Linux and macOS devices such as PCs, laptops and embedded controllers.
What makes SPE so special?
It provides a cost-effective and efficient cabling solution for a variety of applications. Whether you’re operating sensors and actuators, looking to connect industrial plants cost-effectively over long distances, or setting up a smart home, SPE offers you the flexibility you need to optimise your network.
With SPE, you can not only reduce your network costs but also save valuable space. By using a single two-wire cable for both data transmission and power supply, you reduce the number of cables and connectors required. This means less cable clutter and simpler installation.

The Ethernet interface of the sysWORXX USB-SPEmodul1 is available with two different connection standards. Furthermore, SPE offers high transmission speeds and reliable data transfer. Whether you want to send large files, transmit images for video surveillance or connect IoT devices, SPE provides the necessary performance with minimal cabling.
Our sysWORXX USB-SPEmodul1 has been specially developed for use with Single Pair Ethernet. It offers you a reliable and fast network connection that meets your requirements. Whether you wish to use it in an IoT environment, for your business or at home, our USB-SPE module is the perfect solution.
You can easily download the driver for the USB-SPE module from our website. This enables a simple plug&play installation (one-off driver installation).
The USB-SPE module complies with the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and is also available as an OpenFrame variant.
Your benefits:
- Uniform IP-based protocols without the need for conversion, from the sensor/actuator right through to the cloud
- Reduce network costs through efficient cabling
- Theflexibility you need to optimise your network
- High transmission speeds and reliable data transmission over long distances (&>1000 m)
- Point-to-point topology
- Full-duplex
