TelebyteSPE – Single Pair Ethernet Testing Solutions

Telebyte Cable Qualifier Solution
for testing Ethernet-APL & 10Base-T1L Cables

Are you an end user looking to deploy 10BASE-T1L or Ethernet-APL?

Telebyte’s Ethernet-APL and 10BASE-T1L / SPoE Solutions are Multipurpose.

Test During
Product Development

Check specific functionality on prototypes by using interactive mode
Optimize product quality
Identify and resolve issues quickly
Debug specific conditions using a repeatable methodology
Verify initial hardware earlier in the testing process
Test PHY vendor evaluation kits including hardware and software
Check component values for capacitors, inductors, diodes, oscillators to check if the circuit meets droop, frequency tolerance, voltage amplitude, jitter and other specifications
Check voltage rails, oscillators, Micro Controllers, Memory, PHY and MAC interfaces

Conformance & Interoperability
Testing (Power & Data)

Assess a product’s compliance to standards early on
- IEEE 802.3-2022 (10BASE-T1L / SPoE)
- Ethernet-APL (10BASE-T1L Trunk and Spur)
Fully Automated
High Throughput: All power and data tests on a port are typically run in hours (instead of weeks with other approaches)
Repeatable Results: Using a single universal test setup provides repeatable test results from lab to lab
Approved for Ethernet-APL Power & Data Conformance Testing & Certification by these Standards Development Organizations (SDO’s): FieldComm Group, ODVA, Profinet International (PI), OPC Foundation

Simulate Real-World Environments
in the Lab

Compare performance of devices from different vendors in a real-world field environment
- Use over a wide variety of test scenarios
- Find and solve issues before deployment
- Inject noise (AWGN, Impulse Noise, Alien Crosstalk)
- Inject cable faults (bad connector, shorts)
- Test over a wide variety of cable types and lengths (vary DC Resistance and Attenuation)
Will it work on existing legacy cabling
- Use IEEE 802.3-2022 and Ethernet-APL worst case cable limits vs of cables with plenty of margin
System level testing
- Fully load the switch ports and use load devices from different vendors

Fully Integrated & Economic Approach to Testing

Explore automated testing solutions for your Ethernet-APL and 10BASE-T1L / SPoE devices. Industrial communication devices need to be robust, compliant, and stable to prevent failures in the field. This can be achieved, from the initial design to the product validation stage, with a comprehensive yet flexible testing solution that reproduces field conditions in the lab. Manual testing is costly, complicated, and time consuming. Telebyte’s economically priced, automated testing solutions are designed to remove these barriers and typically pay for themselves in less than two years.
