Prerequisites for Gigabit Data Rates
With FRITZ!Powerline data rates in the gigabit range are possible (up
to 1200Mbit/s gross) in the powerline network.
13.1
Requirements
The following prerequisites should be met in order to enjoy
data rates in the gigabit range:
•
three-phase power grid
•
socket outlets with earth contacts
13.2
Gigabit Data Rates Only in the Three-phase Circuit
Gigabit data rates are possible only in the three-phase circuit.
FRITZ!Powerline 1000E can build two pairs of wires for data
transmission only when 3 wires are available. The three wires
in modern electrical circuits are: line (L), neutral (N) and pro-
tective earth (PE).
FRITZ!Powerline pairs the “line + neutral” (standard pair) and
“line + protective earth” (auxiliary pair):
For this FRITZ!Powerline 1000E deploys MIMO technology
(Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output).
