Optimizing Powerline Transmission Capacity
12 Optimizing Powerline Transmission Capacity
With the following tips you can optimize transmission capacity in the
powerline network.
12.1 Finding the Ideal Outlet
In contrast to the cabling in computer networks, the wires for
electric power do not offer any shielding. Every branch, every
socket and every switch on the way between two stations reduces transmission capacity.
The shorter and more direct route over the electrical wiring,
the higher the transmission capacity.
The user interface of your FRITZ!Box and the FRITZ!Powerline
software shows the transmission capacity (gross) for each
FRITZ!Powerline adapter.
To find the ideal power outlet, compare the transmission capacity at various outlets.
12.2 Avoiding Multi-Outlet Power Strips
Multi-outlet strips have the following disadvantages:
• Because multi-outlet strips are junctions, they reduce
transmission capacity.
• Connected electrical devices can interfere with the pow-
erline signal.
• In multi-outlet strips with surge protection, the integrat-
ed filter can block the powerline signal.
Therefore please note:
Never use multi-outlet strips with surge protection in
front of a powerline adapter.
If possible, insert FRITZ!Powerline in a wall outlet rather
than a multi-outlet strip.
If you have to use a multi-outlet strip, insert FRITZ!Power-
line in the socket located closest to the cable.

13 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 protective earth (PE).
FRITZ!Powerline pairs the “line + neutral” (standard pair) and
“line + protective earth” (auxiliary pair):

(Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output).

Using FRITZ!Powerline in a Two-phase Circuit
13.3 Using FRITZ!Powerline in a Two-phase Circuit
You can also use FRITZ!Powerline 1000E in a power grid with
two phases. However, in a two-phase circuit FRITZ!Powerline
can only pair two wires into a single pair. This means that no
gigabit data rates are possible.
13.4 Using Slower Adapters in the FRITZ!Powerline Network
In the FRITZ!Powerline 1000E network you can also use powerline adapters with data rates lower than those of
FRITZ!Powerline 1000E, for instance, adapters with
500 Mbit/s.
Every data exchange with the slower powerline adapter then
takes place at the lower data rate.
FRITZ!Powerline 1000E 30

Enabling Green Mode for the LAN Port
14 Enabling Green Mode for the LAN Port
To save energy you can enable the “Green mode” setting.
The transmission rate on FRITZ!Powerline’s LAN port is then
reduced to Mbit/s (without Green mode 1 Gbit/s). Energy
consumption under load is reduced to no more than 1 watt.
The “Green mode” setting is found in the user interface of
your FRITZ!Box (http://fritz.box
software.
) and in the FRITZ!Powerline
15 Energy Saving Standby Mode
About 5 minutes after the connected network device was
turned off, FRITZ!Powerline automatically switches to standby
mode.
The Power LED flashes slowly during standby operation.
In standby mode the power consumption of the device is only
ca. 0.5 W, instead of ca. 3 W during normal operation.
Computers that can be started over the network (wake on
LAN) are not turned off completely. If FRITZ!Powerline is supposed to switch to standby mode, disable the wake on LAN
feature on the computer, or disconnect the computer from
the power supply, for instance, using a switchable power outlet strip.

Technical Information on Operating FRITZ!Powerline
16 Technical Information on Operating FRITZ!Powerline
16.1 Electromagnetic Interference
There are norms that limit the emission of high-frequency interference for all electronic devices. The standard EN 55022
(Information technology equipment—Radio disturbance characteristics—Limits and methods of measurement) applies for
FRITZ!Powerline adapters. FRITZ!Powerline does not cause
any more interference than power drills, refrigerators, or similar appliances.
No disturbance of wireless communications applications is to
be expected.
Radio reception is generally restricted to the FM band between 87.20 and 108.00 MHz. The FRITZ!Powerline band is
considerably lower, at 2 to 68 MHz.
No disturbance of amateur radio bands is to be expected, either. Within the frequency bands of amateur radio,
FRITZ!Powerline transmits at a lower level; in comparison to
conventional radio technologies, the transmitter capacity is
low, and symmetrical coupling ensures that only a very small
part of it is radiated by the power line.
16.2 Electricity Meter, Fuse Box, and GFCI Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
In some cases, the signal of powerline adapters can be received even on the other side of an electricity meter, fuse box
or GFCI (or RCCB: residual-current circuit breaker)—even by
unauthorized users like neighbors.
However, data traffic in your FRITZ!Powerline network is protected from unauthorized access; see Security in the Power-
line Network on page 16.

Using FRITZ!Powerline with Cross Blocking in the Power Supply
16.3 Using FRITZ!Powerline with Cross Blocking in the Power Supply
Home networking with FRITZ!Powerline is possible even when
the FRITZ!Powerline adapters are used in different phases
(phase conductors) of the home’s own electrical wiring.
FRITZ!Powerline sends (“modulates”) the network data to the
electrical wiring as high-frequency signals. This results in
“crosstalk” of the powerline signal from one phase to the other as soon as the phase conductors run in close parallel over
a distance of at least 0.5 meters. Since this is the case in almost all buildings, FRITZ!Powerline can also be used across
different phases.
16.4 Up to Four Powerline Networks in a Circuit
Up to four FRITZ!Powerline networks can be set up within a
single circuit.
By using different network passwords you can ensure that the
participants in the individual networks can communicate
safely, and that the networks do not interfere with each other.
