Hi everybody:

I want send signals between long distanced elements, more than 1Km. It's this possible using X10 technology?



Thanks

In theory, yes - ripple control has been around for about a century.
In practice, probably not - there are too many signal attenuators and the output power level of X10 PLC transmitters is too low.

If you are talking about a dedicated cable with no power connection, there are better choices - RS485 for example.
