Product Overview

LiteSPEed Cables

High-Speed Data, Streamlined Design

Aptiv’s LiteSPEed™ cables deliver up to 10 Gbps data rates through a compact single pair ethernet (SPE) design—cutting installation costs, simplifying routing, and enabling connectivity in space-constrained environments. With integrated power delivery, this new ethernet topology expands and compliments the 4 pair ethernet ecosystem, reducing copper usage, and allowing fewer termination points. LiteSPEed™ offers a smaller size, lightweight, cost-effective cable solution without compromising performance.

Features and Benefits

  • Up to 50% Smaller Diameter: Ideal for tight spaces and compact routing paths
  • Up to 25% Lighter: Reduces strain on cable trays, harnesses, and support structures.
  • Tight Bend Radius: Easier routing around corners and through dense areas
  • Single-Pair Termination: Easier and faster to terminate versus traditional 4 pair ethernet constructions
  • Lower Labor Costs: Speeds up installation, reducing time and expense on-site
  • Less Copper & Material Usage: Cuts down raw material costs
  • Easier Maintenance: Simplified design streamlines troubleshooting and repairs
  • Upgrade Opportunity: A cost-effective, high-performance alternative to CANbus, Profinet, and I/O Link, eliminating the need for gateways
  • Data Transmission up to 10 Gbps: Supports demanding applications with seamless connectivity
  • Power + Data in One Cable: Eliminates the need for separate power wiring in many use cases
  • Expanded Connector Options: Includes M8/M12, Type LC, IEC 63171-6, etc.
