RFL offers a wide range of Power Line Carrier accessory products. These products include 50 Watt and 100 Watt High Power Amplifiers, Custom Test Panels and Terminations Panels.
50W/100W High Power Amplifiers
The RFL® 9508 RF Amplifier Chassis amplifies the RF output from Power Line Carrier Transmitters before these signals are passed to the line coupling equipment. Each amplifier chassis develops 50 Watts PEP. For 100 Watt applications, two amplifier chassis are required.

Termination Panels
RFL manufactures custom Power Line Carrier Termination Panels. These panels can be customized to meet your requirements. Typically termination panels are used for testing purposes. Termination panels provide a termination point in-between the PLC transmitter equipment and the line tuner. Provision is made for test equipment to monitor the PLC communication signals. In addition a test mode may be used to interrupt the normal communications path and insert test equipment in series.
