The increased performance of HomePlug PLC devices will probably lead the
manufacturers to use 1,000baseT (1,000 Mbit/s) boards so that the throughput is
not limited over the Ethernet interface. It would not be surprising to come across
optical fiber PLC devices.
The Devolo company offers devices with the two USB and Ethernet interfaces.
Figure 7.13 illustrates a Devolo PLC modem of the dLAN duo type with USB
and Ethernet interfaces.
Figure 7.14 illustrates Devolo PLC modems complying with the HomePlug AV
standard with, on the left, a consumer wallmount-style model, in the middle, a pro-
fessional desktop model and, on the right, a professional wallmount model with
Ethernet and USB interfaces.
PLC Cable TV Modems
Some manufacturers of PLC modems offer PLC devices used for the connection to a
cable television network. These devices are highly immune to electromagnetic dis-
turbances.
The two following frequency bands are used by cable TV:
•
data in the 1 to 24 MHz band;
•
TV signal in the 47 to 862 MHz band.
