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 1220E deploys MIMO technology, which requires a circuit
with 3 wires and protective contact sockets. Using MIMO, FRITZ!Powerline 1220E
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 1220E can also be deployed
in circuits with 2 wires, but its complete potential cannot be exploited in these
circuits.
