At points in the electrical wiring where the PLC signal becomes too weak to be
used by the network’s PLC devices, the repeater amplifies and regenerates the signal.
Two different types of repeaters allow us to extend the range of PLC networks:
•
“Physical” repeaters literally amplify the signal and retransmit it along the
electrical line. This type is called physical because it operates on the physical
