Power Strips Connections

Options

‎12-03-2011 07:03 AM

Hello there,

 

Can I plug both units into a 4 sockets powerstrip and still retain the same performance and connection stability?

Those powerstrips have a ON/OFF switch and I generally turn them off at night. Would this be an issue?

 

Thanx.

Most power strips may not even allow Powerline devices to work at all, I would not try it if I were you....

Unless the power strip has surge suppression or line conditioners, it will probably work fine.

 

In other words, plain vanilla switched power strips are no issue.
