Power Ethernet Limited 2013 Version 1 24 Page 4 of 44 PE Socket 200AV T1000 User Manual 1 3 A note on Powerline Bandwidth Speeds The available bandwidth on Powerline networks is depended on a number of factors including 1 The amount of electrical interference on the power circuit Electrical noise on the mains wiring impacts the amount of available bandwidth on a Powerline network Lamps with dimmers scent plugins mobile phone chargers power transformers are amongst the nosiest devices Its good practice to plug any offending devices directly into a PE Socket as its filter will minimise the effect of this electrical noise 2 RCBO s RCBO s are generally filters for Powerline communications This is because they have a large choke built into them which is used for current measurement but this also acts as a filter Powerline signal can still permeate this circuit if the source of the signal is close Installing a PE socket as close to the consumer unit as possible helps gets around these issues 3 Cable distance between the PE Sockets The available bandwidth will decline over distance and the maximum range between PE Sockets is 300m If the electrical cables between them are longer than 300m or the quality of the power network s cables is not optimal the range of communication between sockets will be reduced Please check if you are suffering from poor network speeds 4 Quality of the electrical cable Old electrical cable
