Powerline ethernet networks
EN
The advertised maximum speed between two SYE3600 powerline ethernet adapters is 14 Mbit/s. The 14 Mbit/s includes the added data that is necessary to send the actual data from one powerline ethernet adapter to another. In a ‘clean’ environment, the maximum data speed between two SYE3600 powerline ethernet adapters can be up to 5 Mbit/s.
The advertised maximum speed between two SYE5600 powerline ethernet adapters is 85 Mbit/s. The 85 Mbit/s includes the added data that is necessary to send the actual data from one powerline ethernet adapter to another. In a ‘clean’ environment, the maximum data speed between two SYE5600 powerline ethernet adapters can be up to 25 Mbit/s.
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
•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.
WARNING DO NOT CHANGE THE ELECTRIC INSTALLATION OF THE
BUILDING. ONLY AUTHORIZED INSTALLERS CAN CHANGE THE ELECTRIC
INSTALLATION.
