PPC-1 PulseWorx - Passive Phase Coupler - Wire-in Phase to Phase - Black

The Passive Phase Coupler (PPC-1) is a small electronic device that is designed to enhance the reliability between devices that use Universal Powerline Bus (UPBR) technology for communication. A properly designed residential 120/240VAC split-phase electrical environment will have one (1) Phase Coupler in every electrical panel with lighting control to ensure appropriate communication.
Most homes are wired with 120/240V single-phase (split-phase) power that splits into two separate 120V legs; on occasion command signals have a hard time making the transition from one leg to the other.
The PPC-1 provides a path (couples) for a signal generated on one phase (L1), in a typical split-phase (single-phase) 120/240 VAC residential system to cross over to the other phase (L2) of the powerline. It is a passive coupler and does not amplify UPB signals. This means the signals coupled onto the receiving phase will only be as strong as the signals on the transmitting phase.
