Products Description
M8 Male to T1 Industrial Male SPE Cable
The M8 Male to T1 Industrial Male SPE Cable is a shielded Single Pair Ethernet cable assembly designed to connect industrial M8 SPE interfaces with T1 Industrial equipment. Both connector interfaces are based on the IEC 63171-6 industrial SPE connectivity system.
One end features a straight 2-pin M8 SPE male connector with screw locking and IP65/IP67 protection, while the opposite end uses a straight T1 Industrial male connector with latch locking and an IP20 interface. This combination provides a compact connection between rugged field-level equipment and protected industrial Ethernet devices.
With a shielded PUR cable construction, the industrial SPE cable supports up to 1 Gbit/s over 40 m and 10 Mbit/s up to 1000 m according to the reference cable specification. It is suitable for factory automation, industrial sensors, machine vision, IIoT equipment and smart factory systems. Custom cable length, jacket color, labeling and OEM/ODM configurations are available.

What Is Single Pair Ethernet (SPE)?
Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is an Ethernet technology that transmits data over one balanced pair of copper conductors. Its compact architecture helps extend Ethernet communication toward sensors, actuators, controllers and other field-level industrial devices.
Compared with conventional multi-pair Ethernet cabling, SPE can reduce conductor count, cable diameter, weight and installation space. These characteristics make industrial Single Pair Ethernet particularly useful for factory automation, IIoT equipment, machine vision and distributed smart factory devices.
SPE includes multiple Ethernet physical layers with different data-rate and transmission-distance requirements. Final system performance should therefore be evaluated according to the target PHY, cable length, connector interfaces and complete communication channel.
Why Use an M8 to T1 Industrial SPE Cable?
Field-to-Device Connectivity
Connects a rugged M8 SPE field interface directly to compact T1 Industrial equipment while maintaining a standardized IEC 63171-6 SPE connection.
Rugged M8 Interface
The screw-locking M8 SPE male connector provides IP65/IP67 protection when properly mated, making it suitable for field-level industrial equipment.
Compact T1 Industrial Interface
The latch-locking T1 Industrial male interface provides compact IP20 connectivity for protected controllers, communication equipment and industrial Ethernet devices.

FAQ
What is an M8 Male to T1 Industrial Male SPE Cable?
It is a Single Pair Ethernet cable assembly that connects a 2-pin M8 SPE male interface with a T1 Industrial male interface. This cable design is intended for compatible industrial equipment using IEC 63171-6 connectivity.
What standard does this industrial SPE cable use?
The M8 SPE and T1 Industrial connector interfaces in this configuration are based on IEC 63171-6 industrial Single Pair Ethernet connectivity.
Is the M8 SPE connector waterproof?
The M8 SPE male side is rated IP65/IP67 when properly mated. The T1 Industrial male side is IP20, so the complete cable assembly should not be described as an entirely IP67 connection.
What data rate does the M8 to T1 Industrial SPE cable support?
The reference cable specification lists data transmission up to 1 Gbit/s over 40 m and 10 Mbit/s up to 1000 m. Actual system performance depends on the Ethernet PHY, cable length, connected equipment and complete communication channel.
Can this cable be used with 10BASE-T1L, 100BASE-T1 or 1000BASE-T1?
Single Pair Ethernet includes multiple physical-layer standards. Compatibility should be verified against the target PHY, connector interface, cable characteristics, channel length and equipment requirements rather than determined by the connector alone.
Where is an M8 SPE cable typically used?
Typical applications include factory automation, industrial sensors and actuators, IIoT equipment, smart factory systems, industrial machine vision, controllers, remote I/O and SPE test equipment.
Can Premier Cable customize the M8 to T1 Industrial SPE cable?
Yes. Premier Cable supports custom cable length, jacket color, labeling, identification, packaging and application-specific OEM/ODM SPE cable assembly requirements.
