## What is SPE or Single Pair Ethernet / 10 BASE-T1L
66

7-
SPE is Single Pair Ethernet, what the names implies, it uses a single twisted/differancial pair (only 2 wires) to transmit ethernet packet in full-duplex.
8-
SPE is still ethernet, only the phissical layer is different.

SPE stands for Single Pair Ethernet. As the names implies, SPE uses differential signalling with 2 wires (a twisted-pair) in a cable as the physical medium.
8+
SPE is full-duplex - it can transmit and receive ethernet packets at the same time. SPE is still ethernet, only the physical layer is different.

SPE also supports [`PoDL(Power over Data Line)`](https://www.ti.com/lit/an/snla395/snla395.pdf), power delivery from 0.5 up to 50 Watts, similair to [`PoE`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_over_Ethernet), but additional hardware and handshake protocol is needed.

SPE has many link speeds but only `10 BASE-T1L` is able to reach cable length up to 1000 meters in `2.4 Vpp` transmit amplitude.
13-
Currently in 2023, none of the standards are compatiable with eachother.
14-
So `10 BASE-T1L` don't work with a `10 BASE-T1S` or `100 BASE-T1`.

Currently in 2023, none of the standards are compatible with each other.

Thus `10 BASE-T1L` won't work with a `10 BASE-T1S`, `100 BASE-T1` or any standard `x BASE-T`.
