Standardized testing protocols show the AV600 (TL-PA4010 KIT) utilizes the Qualcomm Atheros QCA7420 chipset, a mature silicon solution for the HomePlug AV standard. Structural dimensions follow the "Nano" form factor, designed with a vertical clearance that allows for the simultaneous use of adjacent wall outlets.
Technical specifications confirm the presence of a 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port, which establishes a physical hardware limit on throughput regardless of the theoretical 600 Mbps powerline sync rate. Signal modulation is achieved through Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) to navigate environmental electrical noise.
- Modes of operation: Active, Power-Saving, AES 128-bit Encrypted.
- Security protocols: Integrated hardware pairing button for local encryption.
Operational analysis indicates that performance is highly sensitive to the presence of Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) found in surge protectors, which can filter the high-frequency data carrier signal. Reliability is further dictated by electrical phase alignment, with significant signal attenuation observed when bridging distinct circuits within the electrical panel.
If the 100Mbps hardware bottleneck is insufficient for your network requirements, the AV1000 series provides a full Gigabit interface to support higher bandwidth backhauls.
