The LOY-SPE2 is a dual Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) converter designed to increase transmission distance in Ethernet networks from 200 to 1000 meters, overcoming the limitations of standard Ethernet cabling. This device significantly reduces infrastructure costs by allowing the use of a single twisted pair instead of Cat5e or Cat6 cables, simplifying installation and facilitating integration in large-scale projects or those with physical constraints, such as logistics warehouses, airports, shopping centers, and other large buildings.

Additionally, the LOY-SPE2 complies with the 10BASE-T1L (IEEE 802.3cg) standard, ensuring stable and efficient connectivity for devices distributed over long distances while maintaining a data transfer rate of 10 Mbit/s. No special configuration is required; just connect it, and it is ready to operate.

This device is an ideal solution for both new buildings and retrofits. In refurbishment projects, it allows existing twisted pair cables to be reused to replace old equipment and connect it to modern Ethernet devices. Compatible devices include LINX automation servers, LIOB I/O modules, Modbus TCP e-Bus Modular IP modules, and e-Room Modular IP fan-coil controllers. In these cases, simply place a LOY-SPE2 at each end of the twisted pair cable to ensure communication.

Key Features:

• Dual Ethernet-SPE Conversion: Converts two standard Ethernet interfaces (10BASE-T) to two twisted pair connections (Single-Pair Ethernet, 10BASE-T1L), enabling more flexible integration of devices into control networks.
• Extended Range up to 1000 Meters: Significantly increases transmission distance compared to standard Ethernet cabling (from 200 m to 1000 m), making it ideal for large-scale projects.
• Reduced Cabling Costs: Uses twisted pair cables instead of Cat5e or Cat6, simplifying installation and reducing material and labour costs.
• Plug & Play Auto-Negotiation: Simplifies installation with auto-negotiation on both sides (Ethernet and SPE), eliminating the need for manual configuration.
• Compatibility and Stability: Complies with the IEEE 802.3cg standard, ensuring seamless integration and stable long-distance connections.

Applications:

• Expansion of Existing Networks: Ideal for modernizing infrastructures by reusing existing single-pair cabling, facilitating the integration of modern control devices at a lower cost.
• Connecting Remote Devices: Perfect for environments where distances of up to 1000 meters between devices are required, such as industrial plants, large buildings, or corporate campuses.
• Building Automation Project Optimization: Reduces the number of required cables and extends distances, simplifying BMS and SCADA systems in smart buildings.
• Industrial and Smart City Applications: Provides a cost-effective solution for connecting sensors, actuators, and other distributed devices over long-distance networks.
