Extra Power Outlet with Noise Filter - AC Pass-Through
BiPAC 2072 comes with a built-in AC Pass-Through adapter and noise filter feature. The AC Pass-Through
Adapter is an extra set of power outlet that can be used by other electrical appliances such as table lamp,
hair dryer or power charger. However, some of these electrical appliances may generate some noise that
may cause interference during data transfer. Therefore, the noise filter will eliminate the interference
generated and enhance the quality of data transfer.
※
Four scenarios below were developed in an 87 square-meter apartment with different types of electrical
appliances in use to evaluate the effectiveness of BiPAC 2072.
Baseline test
–
used the AC Pass-Through adapter to evaluate communications coverage in the
house, but did not use its built-in AC Pass-Through outlet or any other filtering.
Pass-through only
–
used BiPAC 2072 AC Pass-Through adapter and the built-in power outlet
to isolate the appliances associated with the outlet under test without using the noise filter feature.
Filter on severe noise sources
–
same as Pass-through only, but now the halogen lamp and
both phone chargers were isolated from the power line network using the Noise Filter feature.
Filter on both severe and moderate noise sources
–
same as filter on noise sources above,
but with the addition of the moderate noise sources as listed in Table 2.
