L-Com Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) Bulk Cables

Introduction

L-Com Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) Bulk Cables are industrial Ethernet cable assemblies supplied without pre-installed connectors. They provide a practical cabling foundation for custom-length Single Pair Ethernet installations, helping reduce wiring complexity while supporting modern industrial communication networks.

Part Description

These SPE bulk cables are designed for direct connection to compatible Single Pair Ethernet equipment or for termination with suitable SPE connectors. Their single-pair construction supports streamlined network deployment compared with conventional multi-pair Ethernet cabling.

The cables use an SF/TP double-shielded design to help protect data signals from electromagnetic interference in electrically noisy environments. A green polyurethane (PUR) outer jacket provides resistance to oil and UV exposure, making the cable suitable for demanding industrial and outdoor installations.

L-Com offers these bulk cable options in 26 AWG and 22 AWG conductor sizes, with 10 m and 50 m lengths available. The unterminated format gives installers flexibility to cut, route, and terminate cable runs according to the needs of the application.
