This paper has proposed countermeasures to fundamental problems which make difficult to achieve a high-speed PLC over the existing alternating current (AC) systems. To reduce the signal attenuation of the conventional low-voltage (LV) power-line cables made from vinyl insulator, it is recommended to use cables made from polyethylene insulator. It has been also recommended not to use the single pole and 3-way switches supposed to be cut into the hot conductor, and hand-made joint boxes in order to make the electrical balance of the channel high. To prove these proposals, a DC power-line system of 1.5kW capacity was built and the throughput was measured. The proposed simultaneous dual-mode system performed 1.9 times better throughput at maximum comparing with the conventional single-mode system. From these observations, a scenario for a 1Gbps Personal Area Network (PAN) over the new DC power-line channels is proposed. ## Keywords - Power-line communication - Insulator (electricity) - Electrical engineering - Line (geometry) - Electric power system - Computer science - Voltage - Power (physics) - Electronic engineering - Alternating current - Direct current - Engineering - Mathematics - Quantum mechanics - Geometry - Physics --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
