  1. Is Single Pair Ethernet Cable the Future?   It’s been more than two decades that the cable authorities have                       standardized data and voice applications as 4 pair, ScTP or Sc/FTP,                       balanced UTP, Sc/FTP cables that support up to 40 Gigabits per second on                           30 meters for CAT8. The major reason behind this requirement is the                         demand for high bandwidth that meet with the customer requirements.  The rising interest in Internet of Things and Smart Systems have also                         changed the scope of future cabling systems. For example, HVAC, lighting                       sensors and other smart systems require less amount of bandwidth as                       compared to data applications. A sensor, when polled by a controller or an                           external event, doesn’t transmit more than some bytes of data.  Due to the high demand of bandwidth for ​Ethernet Cables​, IEEE has started                           developing a new protocol for ethernet which will operate more than a                         single pair of STP/UTP cable. Now, although the intent was to enhance the                           1​​​

Industries are a target                           market for 100Base-T1 and cables and one can penetrate cable pathways                       as well as sealed enclosures in the installation when it comes to accessing                           the protected equipment.  For electronics that are small, cost effective and consume less power,                       10Base-T1 offers several advantages as compared to existing single-pair                   ethernet options. It will be the preferred choice in future when it comes to                             cabling the sensors, low data consumption devices and sensors. Also, in                       future, as networks become omnipresent, the applications of new systems                     will also go beyond cabling. The vehicles, for example, will become smart                         through future applications.    2​

  3. Considerations For Cables  Cables that support 10Base-T1 applications are compact and small or                     rugged and large. When it comes to commercial installations, the cable                       designers have to deal with thousands of sensors and devices. And with                         numerous cables to manage, it is better to have smaller routes.  You might find 24 AWG conductors covered with thin jackets that lessen                         the cross-sectional size of the cable. At the frequency of 200MHz there is                           no possibility of alien crosstalk and hence it is possible to bundle the                           cables without worrying about signal interference. Cat6A UTP has thin                     jackets that increase the space between cable conductors to lessen the                       effects of alien crosstalk at 500MHz.  With industrial installations in which you can use 1000-meter links, the                       contemplations are different. The long links go through insertion loss which                       you can solve in two ways. One, the 1000m link topology of 10Base-T1 has                             to use a PHY (a kind of ethernet transceiver) which operates at 20Mhz as                             compared to 200MHz for 15m PHY. Attenuation is proportional to                     frequency and length. And hence, long cables increase the attenuation and                       if you limit the frequency to 20Mhz, it will lessen it. Cabling conductors for                             1,000m link segments could have up to 18 AWG diameter, lessening the                         attenuation further. The ISO/IEC and ANSI/TIA standard groups have also                     started defining connectors and cables for 802.3cg/10Base-T1.    3​

  4. Development Of Single Pair Cabling Standards  The ISO/IEC and ANSI/TIA structured cabling standard groups have                   developed specifications for single pair cabling for industrial and                   commercial installations with a wide range of distances and data rates. TIA                         is working on a new single pair cabling standard which will be known as                             TIA 568.5. This standard will define single pair cabling to support 10 Mb                           per second to 100 meters, 100 Mb per second to 15 meters and 1 Gb per                                 second to 15 and 40 meters. This cable also supports an alternative of PoE                             known as PoDL – pronounced as poodle which has the potential to give up                             to 50 watts of power over a single 24 AWG pair.  The TIA will also make amendments for the TIA 1005 industrial cabling                         standard which define the cabling that supports 10 Mb/s to 1000 meters.                         For counteracting the signal loss on long cables, the conductor size goes                         up to 18 AWG for this application.  ISO is also working on making some changes. ISO 11801-9906 Ed. 1 and                           11801-6   Ed.1/Amd.1   standard   will   cover   the   commercial   cabling   specifications for 10/100/1,000 Mb/s single-pair cabling, and 11801-3                 Ed.1/Amd.1 will take care of cabling for industrial applications.  Is This An End For RJ45 Cables?  As you read before, ISO and TIA are already in the process of selecting a                               new single pair connector which they can use to support these                       applications. This with the intent to have a connector which is 1 half to 1                               4​

All that we know at this point in time is that the types of tests that                                   the authorities might conduct and what would be the established standards                       for it to pass or fail. Although the applications might allow the usage of                             UTP cable, wise integrators may go for STP for keeping the alien crosstalk                           at bay.   This Article is Source from  https://www.sfcable.com/blog/single-pair-ethernet-cable-future/  5​
