Federal Communication Commission Interference Stat emen t
This equipment h as been tested and found to comply with the limits f or a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interfer ence in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequenc y energy and, if not installed and used in ac cordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television recepti on, which can be determ ined by turning the e quipment off
and on, the user is encour aged to try to correct the interference b y one or more of the follow ing
measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.
FCC Caution
To assure continued com pliance, for example, us e only shielded interface cables when connectin g
to computer or peripheral devices. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device m ay not c ause har m ful inte rf erence, and ( 2) t his de vice must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment com plies with FC C radiation ex posure set forth for an uncontrolled en vironment . In
order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human
proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation.
Safety
This equipment is designed with the utmost care for the safety of those who install and use it.
However, special attention m ust be paid to the dangers of electric shock and static electr icity when
working with electrical equipment. All guidelines of this and of the computer manufacture must
therefore be allowed at all times to ensure the safe use of the equipment
.

1.2 Product Description
High-speed Data Transfer Rate
With advanced HomePlug AV2 technology, PLANET PL-802 Powerline Ethernet Bridge provides
users with a stable, high-speed data transfer rate of up to 600Mbps over a powerline lengt h of up to
300 meters. Therefore, the PL-802 can transmit multiple HD streams and even Full HD movies to
every room, making it a great choice for easily building a multimedia entertainment network.
High Throughput Performance for Multi-stream Networking
PLANET continues to inn ovate on the suc cess of powerli ne AV to deliver e ven better perf ormance at
higher speeds. The PL-802 compliant with Homeplug AV2 specification was released for nextgeneration powerline networking. It’s now faster than ever to handle the most demanding online

services and applicatio ns. The converge nce of voice, video a nd data within a var iety of multi -function
devices and new applicat io ns , m er ged with Smart Home applications or the I nternet of Things (IoT) , is
driving the need for increased high throughput connec t iv ity throughout the home while as s urin g a hi gh
level of reliability and sustained performance.
Full Interoperability with Other Powerline Ethernet Bridges
The AV2 powerline m aintains f ull interoperabi lity with ot her PLANET connected hom e technologies i n
order to facilitate a simple migration to next-generation powerline certified products. This is a key
benefit, as the PL-802 ena bles users to conn ect with the HomePlu g certified con sumer electronic s or
networking products for internet access in homes without hassle.
Securing Network Connection with the Touch of a Button
Simply by pressing the b utt on on t he P L-802 , users can e asil y set u p a h ass le-fr ee, secur e P owerlin e

Getting Started is as Easy as 1-2-3
1. Connect one Power line Eth ernet Bri dge to your xDSL or cable m odem ’s Ethernet port an d plug it
into the nearest power socket.
2. Plug in the second Powerline Ethernet Bridge in your room or office.
3. Connect the PC/Laptop to the Powerline Ethernet Bridge via the network cable.
Users immediately have access to the Internet through the PC or laptop.
Reducing Power Consumption
The PL-802 consumes less power when compared with the existing Powerline Ethernet Adapters.
Moreover, when there is no Ethernet link, the PL-802 will automaticall y switch to the "Po wer-saving"
mode that would reduce en ergy wasting b y over 80%* when com pared with the adapt ers without this
feature.
