[{"type":"text","content":"Designers can transmit 10-Mbps signals up to an industry-leading 1.7 km with TI's new 10BASE-T1L PHY\n\n\nDALLAS, Oct. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) today introduced a new Ethernet physical layer (PHY) capable of transmitting 10-Mbps Ethernet signals up to 1.7 km through a single pair of twisted wires. The extended cable reach of the DP83TD510E is 1.5 km more than the 200-m requirement of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3cg 10BASE-T1L single-pair Ethernet specification. This additional cable length helps designers extend the reach of industrial communications without increasing system weight or cabling costs. For more information, see www.ti.com/DP83TD510E-pr.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nLearn more about the 10BASE-T1L specification in the technical article, \"How 10BASE-T1L single-pair Ethernet brings the network edge closer with fewer cables.\"\nMeet the higher-bandwidth demands of long-distance communications \nAs the complexity of factory and building automation systems continues to grow, so does the need to transmit more data to and from nodes at the network edge. The ability to directly access edge-node applications can improve control and status monitoring while also streamlining data sharing between networked systems. \nCurrent solutions for bringing connectivity to edge nodes often use a fragmented system of multiple fieldbus protocols supported by protocol conversion through network gateways. Unifying networks through protocol conversion increases complexity and cost while also limiting the ability to remotely monitor edge-node applications.\nThe DP83TD510E helps designers implement a single communications network, from controller to edge node, that is capable of transmitting full-duplex data over a single pair of twisted wires. By eliminating the need for additional protocols, gateways and cables for higher-bandwidth communications, designers can simplify network management while improving system control and interoperability in long-distance applications including HVAC valve and actuator control, field transmitters, elevator main controls and fire alarm control panels. \nRead the technical white paper, \"Leveraging Single-Pair Ethernet in Building Automation,\" to learn how 10BASE-T1L Ethernet PHYs can increase connectivity in building automation designs.\n...
