A Look Back at 2017: Single Pair Ethernet Will Connect IoT Devices

As we say good-bye to 2017, we look back at some of our most shared blogs of the year. When a new cabling technology is developed, it’s natural to assume it was designed to carry higher speeds. While that’s usually a safe assumption, there are instances where new media types are developed to provide more cost-effective transport for lower speed applications. Case in point: single pair Ethernet. Learn more in this blog post from Masood Shariff.
