integrity.

Features

High Speed Data Transmission

Speeds of up to 200Mbps to support broadband applications such as video, gaming, digital music,

file sharing, and Internet browsing in the home.

No Extra Wires Needed

Homeowners can extend their local area network without the hassle of installing extra wiring since

every home has its own power line network already in place.

Plug & Play

Quick and easy connections with embedded plug and play. To extend a network, simply plug a pair

of adapters into any two power outlets. No configuration required!

Extends Connecting Range And Eliminates Dead Spots

Unlike wireless, Powerline technology can cover in excess of 99% of the home.

More Outlets than Other Wired Solutions

On average, there are 45 power outlets in a home. This compares with only 3-5 cable or phone

outlets. This makes it much more convenient to extend a network over power lines.

Female Power Socket with AC Filter

Extend a network without losing a single power outlet since every unit has a female socket with AC

filter that prevents line interference and noise from connected equipment degrading the PLC signal.

Security

With advanced data encryption capability, the power line network is safe and secure.
