The perfect complement for a Wi-Fi connection

Powerline adapters are the ideal way of creating a home network or complementing an existing Wi-Fi connection.

By providing a secure high speed connection and great service quality,

Powerlines allow you to watch Standard and High Definition (HD) movies as well as play online games without interruption or pixilation; share photos, music and other media stored on a PC or compatible storage device anywhere in your home.

Powerline Adapters will help you reach those areas of your home where Wi-Fi signal is either too weak or cannot reach.

Other usages of Powerline adapters include IP-CCtv surveillance cameras, setting up an office network without the need to add more wires or rewire if you change your office configuration.

Ethernet Port:

Powerlines use an Ethernet port to connect through an Ethernet cable to the device you wish to add to your network. One end of the Ethernet cable is connected to the Powerline adapter, while the other end is connected to your device.

Front and rear plugs

Comtrend Powerline adapters are the first ones in the UK market to bring a fully BS1363 certified female plug; so choosing a Comtrend

Powerline PG902 means you can still safely use your electrical outlet.
