BENEFITS OF A HYBRID CONNECTIVITY SOLUTION OVER PoDL HYBRID CONNECTIVITY IN M8 AND M12 FORM FACTOR
In the paper we will discuss the capabilities of hybrid connectivity solutions compared to existing powering solutions. For many applications power over data lines (PoDL) might be sufficient. However, for industrial applications we propose a hybrid connectivity solution. What you will learn from this whitepaper:
- Powering methods with Single Pair Ethernet (SPE)
- Comparison of network topologies / power distribution structures
- Power transfer with hybrid connectors – discussing M8 interface (standardized in IEC 63171-6) and M12 hybrid interface types (standardized in IEC 63171-7)
