Powerline ethernet networks
How ‘clean’ the powerline ethernet network is, is dependent upon:
The quality of the cables of the electric installation.
The number of connected powerline ethernet adapters. Each powerline ethernet
adapter gets a part of the available bandwidth. The higher the number of connected
powerline ethernet adapters, the lower the bandwidth per powerline ethernet
adapter. The maximum number of powerline ethernet adapters on the same
powerline ethernet network is 15.
The distance between the powerline ethernet adapters. The maximum cable length
between two powerline ethernet adapters is 200 m.
The electrical noise in the powerline ethernet network. For example, washing
machines, cell phone chargers and light dimmers can cause electrical noise.
The way in which the powerline ethernet adapter is connected to the power supply
in the wall. We recommend you to connect the powerline ethernet adapter as close
to a wall as possible. If possible, do not use an uninterrupted power supplies or
multi-way sockets to connect the powerline ethernet adapter to the power supply
in the wall.
The shortage of phase couplers in the electric installation. For an optimal connection
from a powerline ethernet adapter on one phase to another powerline ethernet
adapter on another phase, the phases must be coupled.
