<div class="gmail_quote"><div><br>Heyz,<br><br>I've developed some product in the past using the same idea.<br><br>It means that the powerplugs which you want to use to communicate through need to be on the same "phase" in your house. Power is always generated in 3 groups, which are referred to as "phases". It means that there are 3 wires going from the power plants to houses, but not all houses ave all 3 phases connected. (each phase delivers 220V). <br>
<br>Check your fusebox. Each phase will have it's own main fuse. If there is only one, you should not have a problem. If you have 2 or more, you have to figure out which phase goes to which part of the house. Don't open the box though, unless you know what you r doing. Sometimes it's written down on the fuxebox, if not, you are unlucky hand have to trail error or get someone in to find it out for you.<br>
<br>In the case the 2 powerplugs are NOT on the same group (=phase), it won't work.<br><br>Cheers,<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hey all - kind-of off topic, but has anyone here used Ethernet over<br>
Power converters?<br>
<br>
These are power plugs which convert your ethernet and somehow modulate<br>
it over the fixed power cabling in your house. They're rated at up to<br>
85 Mbit and 15 units on a circuit.<br>
<br>
However the specs say "All Homeplugs must be on the same power<br>
circuit" which I take to mean "all on the same length of cable from<br>
one fuse on the distribution board"<br>
<br>
Does the signal stop at fuses/cutouts/boards?<br>
<br>
Any other experiences?<br>
<br>
More details on the product: <a href="http://www.dove.co.nz/jump/3575" target="_blank">http://www.dove.co.nz/jump/3575</a><br>
They're around the $200 for a pair.<br>
<br>
<br>
If it was my place I'd just wire it with cat5e, but is not mine.<br>
