XPCR Repeater Amplifier

[someguysname]

Hi All, I have a quick question about the XPCR repeater/amplifier:

If I am using this, do I also need to use a phase coupler? It seems that I wouldnt, but I have read at least two articles that recommend both /shrug

the xpcr is a phase coupler, that is what the C in its name stands for, the R is for repeater

you should be all set

Awesome, thanks! I just got back from Lowes with a box to mount it in since I didnt want to just throw it in the breaker panel so now it's time to tear into the wall

Do you have spare breakers or are piggy backing existing ones?

I had to swap out full size breakers for skinny ones to avoid piggy backing

Good luck

I had one spare one in the panel from when I retro'd my closet for all of my networking and HA gear. I picked up an extra while at lowes so the repeater wouldnt be sharing a load with anything on either phase.

I do wonder though, would it be ok to have the cm11a on the same circuit? If so then I can throw it all into this one box and be done. Right now my cm11a shares a socket with my washing machine.

Since the xpcr is connected right at the panel and it couples the phases it is logically connected to every circuit thus shouldn't be a prob

heheh I guess you're right I'll file this under "DUH" and move on now
