Requirements for Gigabit Data Rates
A modern circuit has 3 wires: the phase (L), the neutral (N) and the protective (PE).
Many older circuits have only two wires, the phase (L) and the neutral (PEN), which
takes on the task of the protective wire. For high data rates with gigabit speeds
FRITZ!Powerline 1240E deploys MIMO technology, which requires a circuit with 3 wires
and protective contact sockets. Using MIMO, FRITZ!Powerline 1240E can compose an
additional wire pair for data transmission on the phase and the protective wires, so
that the transmission potential is 60 - 80% higher than in a conventional powerline
connection. FRITZ!Powerline 1240E can also be deployed in circuits with 2 wires, but
its complete potential cannot be exploited in these circuits.
