Technical specifications indicate the AV1000 (TL-PA7017P KIT) utilizes a Broadcom BCM60350 chipset, adhering to the HomePlug AV2 standard. Unlike higher-tier units employing MIMO technology, this model operates on a Single Input Single Output (SISO) configuration, which demonstrates a lower sensitivity to ground-loop interference while maintaining a lower-heat operating profile.
Aggregated specification data lists the integration of a noise-filtered passthrough AC outlet, a critical hardware feature designed to mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) from connected appliances. Physical connectivity is managed via a 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet port, preventing the hardware-level throughput bottlenecks found in legacy 100 Mbps adapters.
Material analysis of the internal PCB reveals a proprietary TP-Link layout specifically for the "P" series chassis, optimized for local-only operation without requirement for external cloud-based authentication.
Performance metrics demonstrate that throughput is contingent upon circuit topology, with potential signal degradation of 50-80% occurring during phase-bridging across a breaker box. Operational monitoring indicates that while the device supports stable data transmission, environmental factors such as Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCI) in contemporary electrical systems may influence connection stability.
The TP-Link AV2000 variant is recommended for environments requiring higher burst speeds, as its 2x2 MIMO architecture utilizes the ground wire for additional data paths.
This hardware is classified within the broader ecosystem of powerline adapters, which serve as architectural alternatives for local area network extension over existing copper wiring.
