Power Line Communication
(PLC) is a technology that uses
power lines to both supply
electric power and transmit
data. Electricity travels in large,
slowly changing waves (figure
A), while data signals move in
small, quickly changing waves
(figure B). Since these waves
travel at different speeds, there
is no mutual interference when
they travel together (figure C).
This makes it possible to send
data signals through power
lines, and access the Internet
from power outlets. Original
Panasonic HD technology uses
this principle to provide the
large data transmission capacity
and high speed of the HD-PLC
Ethernet Adaptor.
The overlapping
electrical and data signals
are divided and extracted.
