Connecting Single Pair Ethernet with WINSTA® MINI

ETHERNET connections are increasingly standardizing communication at the field level in buildings and in industry. With the WAGO WINSTA® MINI Series 890 connector, single-pair Ethernet (SPE) cables can now also be connected easily and without tools using the WINSTA® connector system. Regardless of whether this involves the digitalization of building control systems or the connection of sensors in industrial automation - the tool-free, fast and secure connection is guaranteed.

In many applications, Single Pair Ethernet is the perfect solution for the physical layer. It supports high-speed ETHERNET connections over long distances using only a single wire pair. This saves space and reduces weight in applications while conserving resources. WAGO's 890 Series WINSTA^® MINI Pluggable Connectors are tested according to IEC 63171 (Category A) and provide a Single Pair Ethernet connection with exceptionally easy connection.

How does it work?

Just trim the conductor to the appropriate length, strip the insulation, insert the end into the WINSTA^® MINI Pluggable Connector, and it's ready to go. Plugging the pluggable connection system together locks the conductor in securely, establishing the Single Pair Ethernet connection – no tools required. For especially easy detection, the pluggable SPE connectors are color-coded in pink.

WAGO's 890 Series WINSTA^® MINI Pluggable Connectors offer an especially easy option for retrofitting Single Pair Ethernet connections in existing installations. For example, building controls for roller shutters or doors, as well as sensors in industrial automation technology, can be connected quickly and reliably without tools. This is very practical for making easy digitalization possible during renovations.

• Simplified cabling: SPE allows data and current to be transmitted via the same cable pair. This means: Less cable clutter and more space in tight control cabinets.

• Fast communication in industry: The technology enables efficient communication between devices, sensors and actuators, especially in industrial automation.

• Future-proof installation: The flexibility of SPE enables us to meet the ever-increasing demands on data transmission speeds and network infrastructure.
