The present invention describes a very long extension which is particularly compact when wound, and which is suitable for bringing both electrical power and data
connectivity to a point where it is necessary to connect an electrical device. Examples of contexts in which the use of very long extensions is required can be: a construction site, a large warehouse, or a setting up context for an exhibition (fair or museum). The prior art does not propose universal extensions to remotize both power supply and data
connectivity simultaneously, this is because access to the
electrical network is usually more widespread than access to data and therefore, in real cases of use, the extension should be able to connect to two distant physical points. The present invention describes an extension made using a "
ribbon cable", which can be rolled up neatly, without twisting and without knotting. Moreover, being very thin, when wrapped, it gives rise to a coil that is certainly very compact, if compared to the dimensions of traditional extensions. In addition, the "extension
system" is completed with some accessories that allow you to bring data
connectivity to the same socket where the power supply is taken. More precisely, a so- called "Powerline" modem is installed at the point of withdrawal of data connectivity (which can be very far from the point of withdrawal of
electricity), and it is also connected to the nearest electrical socket, with the sole condition that this socket is connected to the same electrical distribution network to which the "
ribbon cable" of the "extension
system" according to the invention is also connected. At this point, in addition to the power supply, a modulated "Powerline"
signal is also present on the socket where it is connected the extension cable (i.e. the "
ribbon cable" of the "extension
system" according to the invention). Then, using a second "Powerline" modem, which allows to modulate / demodulate this
signal, it is possible to have both a
data access and power access, substantially in the same point of the
working environment, and therefore by means of an appropriate " ribbon cable", these accesses can be remoted to the point of
actual use.
