Chapter 1 Introducing the PLA-407
1.1.1 Data Transfer
The PLA-407 securely communicates with each other at high data transfer rates of up to 200 Mbps. The theoretical maximum channel data rate is 200 Mbps on the physical layer. The actual channel data rate will vary depending on noise on the electrical wires and the quality of your electrical installation.
It uses 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to ensure safe transfer of information.
1.1.2 Pass-Through Design
The PLA-407 has a power socket into which you can plug another electrical appliance, network device or power strip. It can support up to 16A current rating making it compatible with other electronic equipment used at home. Specifically, the PLA-407 supports the following current rating:
•EU Type: AC socket, 100 - 240V ~ 16A (maximum), 50 - 60 Hz
•US Type: AC socket, 100 - 240V ~ 15A (maximum), 50 - 60 Hz
•UK Type: AC socket, 100 - 240V ~ 13A (maximum), 50 - 60 Hz
This extra socket frees up an outlet for another device at the same time that your PLA-407 is plugged in. It is recommended that you plug in only network devices, such as your personal computer, computer monitor, router, Device Media Adapter (DMA) to name a few. Plugging in high current electrical devices (microwave, refrigerator and so on) can reduce the performance of the device.
1.1.3 Noise Filter
When you plug in a power strip to the PLA-407’s power socket and use this power strip for other electrical devices in your home, the PLA-407 can filter out
