10Base-T1S/L connects sensors in cars and buildings
IEEE 802.3cg defines these two Ethernet flavors, which deliver data and power over a single pair of wires. In 2019, IEEE published 802.3cg, which added clauses 146 and 147 to its Ethernet 802.3 standard, which created 10Base-T1S (short reach) and 10Base-T1L (long reach). These two Ethernet flavors can serve vehicles and industry, respectively, where few […]
